If the husband owns the credit card and adds his wife to the card and he opens another credit account against that credit card does that affect her credit score?
If the husband adds the wife as a "joint" it will show on her credit report but will most likely not be counted against her if she tried to apply for a loan. If the husband adds the wife as an "authorized user" it will not even show on her credit report because she has no legal obligation to pay the credit card bills, but she has the right to use the card.
If a credit card in husbands name only and has late payments does it affect wifes credit?

Can a husband who is unable to obtain a credit card use his wife's extremely good credit rating obtain a credit card on line without his wife's knowledge?
No, because when the credit card company access the credit bureau, they access the name who applies for the credit card, not the spouse's name. It's the primary cardholder who is fully responsible for the debit. If the wife gives her husband an authorized user card from her credit cards and the husband doesn't pay. The wife's credit card will be destroyed if she doesn't pay the debit (even the charges he makes) So make sure you both keep your credit cards separate so that you both maintain your own good credit histories. Especially (heaven forbid) you both separate/divorce
Can a wife use her husband's credit card without his permission?
In most cases, no. Per credit card company rules, the person who signed the back of the card is the only person allowed to use it, and if the signature on the back of the card doesn't match the signature on the charge draft, then an ID check is triggered and the retailer has to verify that the person presenting the card is the person named on the card. It has to be that person, not their husband/wife/etc. If the husband/wife is an authorized user on the wife/husband's account, the credit card issuer would issue an additional card for that authorized user.
