Can’t add my wife as an additional cardholder on my credit card, because she once used her phone number on a Barclays account of her own.

      True. I guess given that the way I’ve always done it here (one contacts the bank directly to open a new joint account) rather than trying to add a second person to an existing account, I hadn’t considered that approach. Still, I can somewhat understand the rationale behind this design.

        also mobile numbers are a bad identity vector. Some keep theirs for decades, others may change them several times a year every year.
