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

What is a debit card used for?

A debit card is similar to a credit card, as they typically will contain a Visa, Mastercard or American Express logo. There are two typical types of non-credit cards: gifts cards (which do not have your name on the card) or debit cards (with your name). Debit cards are issued by a bank and generally have conditions for use and monthly maintenance fees. Debit cards can be used in many of the same ways a credit card can: in-person purchases, online purchases, ATM withdrawal (check your card). The difference between a credit and debit card is that debit cards traditionally do not affect your credit rating, whereas credit cards do.

A debit card is just another name for a credit card?

no, a debit card is a 'bank card' or 'atm card'... it's a card that's directly related to your bank account. When you charge a purchase to your debit card, money comes directly out of your bank account, whereas a credit card is paid off in installments at your discretion with an interest rate. So you don't have to pay right away (like you do with a debit card) but it may end up costing you more in the long run.
