No, it could be considered fraud. In most cases the credit card company will close the account as soon as they discover the death. They often check the SSN register against recent deaths. It isn't a good idea.

∙ 12y agoOf ourse not. That would be committing fraud- a criminal offense. It would be a form of identity theft. As soon as the lender finds out the card holder has died and someone else is using the credit card(s) it will notify the police and the person who has stolen the card will be arrested and face criminal prosecution.
