Thanks!
No... I've tried this. I have a Credit Card which accumulates the most miles. My wife always flies with me and only gets her 'flying miles'... She's in my redemption group. I've asked this same question... needed 80K miles for her redemption, she had 40 in her account... tried to use it with 40 from my account.. they said no. I had to pay to transfer them into my account, or pay to transfer 40 from my account if I wanted to use them. It's quite expensive to do...
