Can a teenager under 18 use a parent's or sibling's credit card?
[Edit]

NO. The credit card company won't allow that to happen.

It is illegal for ANYONE who is not the card holder, named on the card, to sign for goods purchased with the card.

Expanding on the above answer: A minor may be able to use an adult's credit card if the credit card owner has officially authorized the minor to use it. This would require the adult to contact the credit card company to document the minor as an authorized user; rules/regulations vary by company. Without this formal step, the first response holds true: it would be illegal.
