Card with flexible spending limit feature for authorized users

I'm looking for a credit card where you can set a custom spending limit like $10, or 20 or 50 like limit from the app for authorized users eg a card I give to my child. Anyone knows if any bank offers such a feature?

Amex has this, but I believe the minimum you can set is $100.

NFCU credit card's AU can have a preset limit in $100 increments up to the limit of the card.

That would be a nice feature for parents.  None of my cards had that, so my work around was to use an old, worthless CU card and have the credit limit reduced.

 

Will follow this thread just for the fun, my kids all grown up with cards of their own now.

The Apple Card has this. It allows you to give apple pay access to the card and set a per transaction limit.

Chase debit cards have this but I am not sure if that's what you are looking for.  I am in charge of my Dad's $1.1M Chase Trust account and I asked for a debit card in my sister's name as she often shops for him, takes him out to lunch, pays for gas to drive and see him, needs to pay his medical/dental co-pays, etc.  Chase asked me if I wanted to set a spending/withdrawal max limit for her card when I requested it. 

[Until I can make a pretty signature, here’s an updated draft]

Everyday 5% CB:
Chase prime Visa // citi CUSTOM CASH “A” // citi CUSTOM CASH “B” // citi SHOP YOUR WAY (5% gas (in points), lucrative spending offers) // mylowe’s Rewards // Target circle card

5% CB rotating:
Chase “OG” freedom Visa // DISCOVER it Cash Back // nusenda CU Platinum Cash Rewards

Everyday 4% CB:
US Bank Smartly (v1.0)

Everyday 3% / 2.2% CB:
AOD FCU Visa Signature (3%, sockdrawered) // upgrade Cash Rewards Elite (2.2%, sockdrawered)

Welcome Offer / credits only:
Chase SAPPHIRE PREFFERED (grabbed my $1,000, sockdrawered, will cancel) // NFCU FLAGSHIP REWARDS (elevated Welcome Offer, annual prime credit, sockdrawered)

Hotel card:
Chase IHG ONE REWARDS PREMIER (elevated Welcome Offer, 1 free night/yr)

On my radar:
Langely FCU Signature Cash Back (5% CB monthly selectable cat) // Safe CU Cash Back+ (Quarterly rotating 5% CB cats plus bonus cats) // upgrade MyFive Cash Rewards (5% CB monthly selectable cat) // US Bank Kroger (and family) World Elite Master Card(s) (5% CB Mobile Wallet)

My AmEx BCP lowest threshold is $200, for what it's worth. Perhaps other products have different minimum threholds though.

 

Another idea is a debit card where you can use something like a card valet app to restrict spending on their cards. If you want true credit cards, though, perhaps the Apple card would be useful if you're in that ecosystem, as others have suggested.
