Once I learned of this I used it proactively to get two cards with the same number for all my accounts so I can leave one hidden in my car in case I leave my wallet at home.

YMMV with other issuers, however, so make sure to ask what they do when a card is replaced for wear and tear.

Then just give your partner the card!

Hmmmm I wouldn't really advise this route it runs the risk of double losses/possibilties of theft. Best thing to do would be to call BA and let them know that you are now travelling seperately.
