      Hi Denise

      Thanks for your question

      The $29 Supplementary Card fee for the first year for all Supplementary Cards is waived. You will also earn points on your account for every dollar your Supplementary Cardholders spend.

      After the first year, the supplementary card fee is $29.

      Cheers
