Default Credit card note

Here’s something important to check. My husband passed away this year and I found this out the hard way. The main credit card we had used for years and years for everything including all subscriptions that auto charged was NOT a joint account. Apparently when he opened it, not thinking, he put it in his name with me as an approved user. When I called the bank a couple of months after he passed to let them know of his death and change the account to my name only, they immediately cancelled the account. Immediately. That moment. I lost all the reward points that I intended to use for travel back for his memorial. I am still fighting this fight and will likely need a lawyer. So please, please check your credit cards and make sure they are JOINT accounts. Pls do it today.
