So basically, should I set up an AM account for my wife who will barely travel or can I get both hers and mines under my sole account.

Thanks!

Depending on the booking class, there might be other programmes better suited than Asiamiles. Are you based more in HKG or YVR? If latter, you might want to sign her up for maybe, Alaska Airlines' Mileage Plan. They are partners with CX too and you may accrue miles with other trips to US on Alaska and that way you'll be closer to an award than with Asiamiles.
