The same would work in reverse, meaning a credit card account approved for a husband, with the wife added as authorized user, and points deposited in the wife's MR account.

It would be even better if each of you had your own Chase credit card account, with the other as an authorized user, though Chase might make you remove the opposite spouse as authorized user when each of you has your own account, but I would HOPE not, since that would defeat the plan as outlined above.
I'll let you know if this works out. The card arrived in the mail this week....I'll grab it this weekend and see if I can make the swap
