I want 40K Choice to stay at the Hotel Diana Venice for 4 nights. It's the cheapest hotel I've found that's actually located in Venice. I only have 27K MR and can't do the Amtrak-Choice transfer b/c even if I opened an Amtrak account, I wouldn't have the status required to transfer to Choice.

I just read on FT that 2 people can send their MR to the same partner account. So, I guess I could open a PRG or the like in my wife's name and send both our points to Choice. Just not sure I want to go through all that just to get 13K Choice.

Can you combine spouse's MR accounts?

In the past, they've allowed spousal transfers if requested, but I recently saw a blog post that it may be coming to an end.
Check with them.

You can also check here.

And you can see if anything looks decent at Points.com, but it's unlikely.

Why not throw in a couple more?

She doesn't have any biz cards yet, and I didn't want to start dealing with validating the biz and all that stuff right now. Need to be focusing on my trip.
In terms of personal, she already has SPG.
I have the DL and think it's a waste. It got me 1 OW ticket NY-MIA. Appreciate it, but what a joke.
Gold and Green don't seem to have any signup bonus.
I could go for the HH, but from how people talk about it, it seems to be as worthless as the DL. Plus AF isn't waived, so I have to worry about closing it ASAP.
Obviously, one would say go for Plat, but honestly, I don't really see the benefits in my case. Global Entry is nice, but we can also wait on line. Plus I'd have to pay for an AU so we both have it. Lounge access is nice, but even though we have 19 flights this summer, none of them are scheduled to have more than a 2 hour stopover, so I really don't think looking around for the lounge and going to it is worth the AF. Again, I'd need an AU so we both get lounge access. So, even with the $200 credit, this card would be $250+$175 for benefits we probably won't use. Finding a nice bonus offer of 100K+ would be nice, but I'm just not dying to worry about collecting miles right now.
Finally, the EveryDay card seems to be the most logical one to get. A couple of MR is nice and at some point, I'd probably want it for myself and her to hold any remaining MR once we close the PRGs before AF hits.

Hope that list was exhaustive enough

Think I'll actually for the EveryDay...

No.

I think they allow when closing the card.
