    Default Using my Dad's credit card??

    So okay my Dad gave me his credit info so I could buy some stuff onlne. But he's extremely nosy so I don't want him to know anything. Honestly I just want him to pay for the crap and get the heck on.

    So is there anyway he'll see my address?? I know I can put my info for the billing and shipping address so the item and receipt will be sent to me. So I think that means he'll just get the charge on his card and also the name of store I bought it from. No other info.

    Is that correct?

    If you're using his credit card, he has a right to know what he's paying for - that's not being nosy.

    Does he not know where you live? Is that what you're trying to hide? You're correct in being able to put your address as the shipping address, but the billing address has to be the address the credit card is registered to. Usually the invoice is mailed with the package though. I can't see how he'd find out your address from you getting things shipped, though I can't help but wonder why you feel the need to hide it from him, but can't simply get a credit card of your own.

    Ok :] thanks for your help. I'm not worried then.

    The card is pre-paid in his name though not mine. He had another card set up so I couldn't overspend. A pre-paid visa.

    I've gotten stuff over the years as teenager using his cards. He never found out any info then. I just wanted to check and ask again to be sure. As long as I put my address for the billing and shipping address I'll be fine. He'll just see the charge.

    He's not smart enough to know he could call and request the address. He mainly tries to squeeze info out of me when I see him in person or over the phone. Besides he would never claim that card was stolen. He gives me his card info and asks if I want anything from time to time I've just decided to take him up on it recently.

    Ouch.
    He knows what he's paying for. I always tell him what item I'm getting and the amount it costs before I get anything. And he always offers when this happens I don't outright ask for things. I just don't use his card on a whim.

    Well duh. However I don't feel the need to detail my situation.

    Does it even matter why? I see questions all the time regarding receiving money from customers discreetly. Why is this situation any different just because he happens to be my father. I appreciate all the advice given but I didn't ask for a mini interrogation and a virtually flashlight in my face.

    Actually I am able to get a credit card of my own. Like most young adults I have one. But why pay for things if someone is willing to give it to you for free?

    Honestly it wouldn't be the end of the world by far if he knew my address I just rather him not know.

    That's fair enough, no need to get so defensive. Just make sure the billing address you provide is the billing address associated with the card (unless that happens to be your shipping address, but then your dad would know it so I doubt that's the case) and there won't be any problems.
