Would it look suspicious to use someone else’s credit card while out shopping (with their consent, of course)? - feddit.org

Here’s the situation: I just arrived in Japan from Germany to visit my long-distance boyfriend for the first time. He’s working during the day, so while he’s away, I’m on my own. He gave me his credit cards and told me to go out, explore, and enjoy myself if I get bored. I’d like to, but I’m a bit worried. I’m German, he’s Japanese. I’m a woman, he’s a man. So obviously, the name on the cards doesn’t match mine. I don’t want it to look like I stole them or something, it’s more about the optics. Maybe I’m just being overly anxious and overthinking it.

If you pay with cards in Japan the same way in the USA, nobody even looks at the names and just you just pay.

If you look like you are freaking out you might look suspicious enough for someone to double check.

They don’t even see/touch the card…

It’s not like the 80s where you hand them the card to swipe.

When I visited USA last year, I was dumbfounded that I had to give my card to whoever and they wandered off to charge it. Rather than UK where they bring a card machine to you
I would 100% follow them to see what they’re doing with my card.
Gonna jump over the bar? Easy way to get kicked out
After you had your meal? Sounds like a win
