SpencerCat, since your current mileage balance would be enough for three one-way business class awards between the U.S. and Europe on UA, your wife only needs to accumulate a total of 52,500 miles for the fourth one-way award that the two of you require to fly roundtrip.
I have a question.

Are you saying that I can use MY miles to get a one-way Business Class ticket for my wife? I didn't know I could do that. I thought I could use my miles ONLY for a ticket for myself. Am I wrong? I hope so.

We aren't planning to travel overseas until next year, and I think that before then, either I will have accumulated enough additional miles for two roundtrip Business Class tickets (one for me and one for my wife, if what you say is true ... and I sure hope it is), or my wife will have her own Chase UAL credit card with enough miles from a signup bonus and everyday expenditures to get one one-way ticket.

I hope all of this makes sense, and I REALLY hope you're right about my being able to use some of my miles to get a ticket for my wife.

Thanks for responding.

Richard
