Important examples of cardholder in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, cardholder refers to the owner or user of a credit or debit card.

▪The cardholder must sign the receipt.

▪The owner of the card must sign the receipt.

Example of a confusing word: shareholder (an owner of shares in a company)

▪The shareholder must sign the receipt.

▪The owner of the shares must sign the receipt.

"Cardholder" specifically means someone who possesses a credit or debit card and is responsible for its use. In the sentence "The cardholder must sign the receipt," it correctly indicates that the person using the card must sign. "Shareholder," however, refers to someone who owns shares in a company and is not related to card usage. Using "shareholder" in this context is incorrect, as it changes the meaning entirely and does not fit the context of signing a receipt for a card transaction. Thus, "cardholder" is the correct term.

In TOEIC grammar questions, cardholder is a singular noun and requires singular verbs.

▪The cardholder is responsible for the charges.
