Year 3: I plan to sign up prior anniversary of my wife's card. then she will cancel her card....and so on until they close the loop.
I do the same, every year switch between mine and spouse's account but a few months before I cancel, I "REFER" spouse for card (or vice versa) and get an additional 2,500 mile referral bonus....... THEN I cancel when it posts.
