It shouldn't be an issue, unless fraud reports(or way too many returns are used, thereby creating the perception of fraud or non-legit use) are filed for the CC and accounts.  If you are really worried about it, you could always just friend the accounts and use the Gift function of buying games, to gift the game from one account and only then use the card on one account.  But honestly, it shouldn't be an issue, as I use my CC for both my son's account as well as mine and no issue has ever occurred.

I am NOT an EA employee, I am just a simple gamer like most everyone else here volunteering my help to those who may can use it .....That means I have to pay for my games just like you, lol.
