Creation (UK IHG credit card) won't let other half credit points to my account
My OH and I both have IHG Barclaycards (which are closing in April) and her points were credited to my IHG account for several years without a problem.
We now both have Creation cards, she applied last week, but they said today:
For your information, IHG members - husband/wife or partners cannot use the same reward number.
She doesn't use my IHG account, we just want her points to go to mine. Are Creation correct in what they say?

It looks like it would be correct from looking at the description. If you have 1 account with an authorised user , then spending on both cards would go to the principal card holder's IHG account
It doesn't state it expressly, but the term "Points awarded through the use of the authorised cardholder’s card will be credited to the principal Cardholder’s IHG Rewards Club account." implies it
If your wife has her own card account, then she is the principal card holder and all points are credited to her IHG account. The rest of the wording on http://www.creation.co.uk/ihgcctermsandconditions/ seems to also imply it
Perhaps just have 1 card account with an authorised user and the points will be merged

Now I feel a bit gutted I didn't do that, 2 Certs every year into my Spire account, nice going keefyboy. I'm not surprised Creation have refused it, what with their tighter points rounding and the certificate only crediting on each anniversary, this premium card is being run on a budget!
