Add-On Card is a benefit provided to the immediate relatives of a principal credit
cardholder. The
nearest family member may use the add-on card, which has the same benefits as the principal
credit
cardholder.
Typically, credit card companies provide two to three cards without charge, so the
additional cards
won't have an annual or joining cost. The cost of some add-on cards can range from Rs.
125 to Rs.
1,000, depending on the card type. It is far cheaper than the yearly cost on the main credit
card,
though.
