How can we have 2 cards, one for me and one for my wife under a household account similar to all other credit cards?

2 Apple cards under a household account?

First off the Apple Card from Goldman Sachs is a MasterCard, not a Visa. The Apple Card is not the same as other cards due to the way it is obtained and handled but their might be a way for you to do what you want but only Goldman Sachs would be able to answer your questions. This is a user-to-user technical support site, there is no one from Goldman Sachs nor Apple here to answer your questions.

Apple's Family Sharing does not allow for 2 credit cards as methods of payment. When you set up family sharing, it was disclosed that the family organizer is wholly responsible for all family purchases.


Family members can redeem iTunes Gi=ft Cards to their accounts which will be charged before your method os payment.

I guess you really didn't understand my question. Let me state it another way. We are talking about the Apple Card which is a Credit Card from Goldman Sachs. My wife and I have a CapitalOne Master Card (Credit Limit $17K) and and Chase Credit Card Visa (Credit Limit $15K). I now also have a ApplyCard Visa from Goldman Sachs (Credit Limit $8,500) and my wife who is currently still employed just signed up for an ApplyCard Visa (her credit limit is $6,500). We get a single statement from CapitalOne and a single statement from Chase Visa. Each Statement (from each credit card company)has all purchases made by both my wife and I on each statement. Why can't Apple Card be combined into one statement so that a combine monthly bill can be paid rather than multiple bills and multiple payments being made from the same household. Also, since we have a current Credit score of 815 and she is still employed, why does she only have a credit limit of $6,500. Maybe we will just stay with CapitalOne or chase. Thanks

As LACAllen said: “Nobody did”, myself included.


Even your elaboration is not clear, as it sounds like you and your wife share a Chase Visa (and therefore naturally get one statement). And the same appears true for your CapitalOne Master Card.


So I guess your question really is whether you and your wife may share an Apple Card account. The answer appears to be “no”. But follow deggie’s advice should you choose to do so.
