Confessions of a secret credit card user
One in ten Brits (eight per cent) with a partner have a credit card they conceal from them, and a further eleven per cent of those with credit cards deliberately make sure their partner doesnt see their credit card or bank statements, according to research from MoneySupermarket.
The UKs number one comparison site asked why people hide a credit card or statement, and the top reason for being deceptive was because they feared their partner would be annoyed by the amount of money they spent (40 per cent). Other sneaky reasons for a secret credit card included 38 per cent of people desiring to have their own purchasing freedom, 21 per cent said it was because they wanted to make purchases their partner would not approve of, and 11 per cent believed their other half wouldnt approve of them having a credit card at all.
