Does anyone give their female partner a credit card in her name in addition to her allowance? I’m getting tired of having to transfer money every time she says she’s having financial difficulties.

I’m a male member, “Paper Airplane.” Outside the club, there are women I let keep a cash card, but I don’t do that with women from the club. With a cash card, anyone can withdraw money without being the cardholder. They also can’t withdraw more than the balance, so I can keep things under control. With a credit card, I suppose you could get one in your wife’s or mother’s name and give it to her.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here—I’ll answer this one too. It’s a brand-new company, but I think it might be a good idea to issue her a corporate VISA card from paild: https://www.paild.io/ This card was originally created in response to companies wanting to give their employees cards. The card itself looks and works like a regular card, but it functions much like a prepaid card, with a preset spending limit. Many stores don’t accept VISA prepaid cards, but the advantage of this card is that it can basically be used anywhere. (I’m not sure whether it works at stores that don’t accept cards issued overseas.) If you issue one in the woman’s name, she can shop anywhere. However, like a prepaid card, it has a spending limit, so you need to set one in advance—say, ¥1 million. On the other hand, if you set the limit at ¥1 million, she won’t be able to spend more than that. You can simply top it up if she says she’s run out of funds. I only know the general details, so some of the finer points may be incorrect. It would probably be best to ask the company directly. Since it’s a newly established company, I do worry about what would happen to the money loaded onto the card if the company went under, though… Also, just like with a regular card, you can see exactly where and what was purchased in the card’s transaction history.

I’m Aya, a female member. I used to borrow my papa’s credit card, but it was a little inconvenient because many stores only accept cards in the cardholder’s name. Also, he could see exactly what I bought and where I went, so I gradually stopped using it. Looking back, I feel it wasn’t really right to use someone’s card when we weren’t family, and I regret it.
