Hilton HHonors - ?? advantage to having family account vs 2 separate??

Would someone explain the advantages of one over the other?? thanks

e.g. you need a 100,000 pt award, together you have the points but each person individually does not.

You can also accumulate points more quickly with 2 accts (husband, wife)w/non-stay bonuses, and then combine the 2 into 1 when you have reached your goal http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Your stays collectively count toward status and each shares the status.
