I know this doesn’t work with ALL cards that carry a fee but I have an airlines card with ~$100 fee and every single year I get the fee I call to “close my account” due to the fee and every single year I get a promotional credit added to my account in the same amount as the fee.

Oh, I love this phenomenon - if I remember correctly, it is called diglossia and code switching. We do it a lot in Central Pennsylvania, where you might “talk Dutchy” with friends and family, using strange words like dopplich, spritzing, schusslich, and rutsching, but then you would speak with a more GenAm accent and…

I do the same thing with my Canadian accent. My work friends call me a hoser for a few weeks after I come back from visiting Canada where the parts of my accent that I usually suppress are normal.

Why not add the person as an authorized user, but not give them the card? That would even be my suggestion if I was the person with bad credit. I suppose they could get the number or the card and use it, but if they do that, then you have bigger issues in your relationship than bad credit.
