    When we asked for duplicate cards for our kids to use
while away at college, Sears' answer was that it was better
for each of the 4 kids to have one each - in his and her
names. The cards were issued immediately. No hassle. No
worry about being billed giant amounts. Each card with a
separate acct number. Fortunately, each kid is a rather
responsible individual, and only bought when necessary.
Later when they married, and needed credit ratings, there
they were!     Actually, the same thing happened with gas
credit cards. Maybe it depends on the geographical area
or the people we dealt with. (It couldn't possibly have been
because WE are such upstanding citizens):-) - How could it
be? We both work for AT&T Bell Labs!
