  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 don’t think retail workers care enough. As long as you know the PIN, there’re shouldn’t be any issues.

  My wife has medical issues and we worry about this type of thing but it has not been an issue in the us. We did not change our names at marriage so they are different. Its actually kinda disturbing that it works fine by and large.

  Nobody will care, but a lot of places, including all public transit only take cash.

  You’ll be fine, both in Japan and back home I’ve lent people my card and vice versa, the only time I ever had someone look at the name was buying something from Bic Camera. It was over 5k yen so I wanted to get the tax discount, and they looked at my passport and compared the name on my debit card.

  Don’t think anyone will check.

  Worst case scenario he will have to pick you up at the police station and you’ll have a story to tell.

  It’s common to use someone else’s credit card when you’re abroad

    It might be an issue-ish with cards that require a signature, since only you are supposed to know the signature and someone else reproducing it is legally comparable to counterfeiting a document.

    For cards with a PIN no body cares.

      Yeah, all cards in Germany are PIN only.

  In many countries you can get temporary cards today you can put money on and then spend it. Maybe they have something like that?
