When I log in I do get two separate MR accounts, and if I go to the travel pages it gives me an option of which MR account I want to pull points from. Does this mean I just need to have the accounts linked?

And as far as the Companion thing it wont always be my wife that will be my companion. I am worried it will be hard to convince her just to go to the lounge even though it is free! My friends on the other hand will never turn down free food and drinks.
