Right now, I am thinking that we will make the MileagePlus card our main card to use for expenses. Any advice or am I going about this the wrong way?

Where are you based?
How aggressive do you want to be aka how many CC applications do you want?
If you are coming from east coast you already have enough for the both of your to go to Sao Paulo and back using Avios points. I am assuming you applied for the 100k offer?
Is there a particular reason why you chose MileagePlus card as your everyday spend card?
There are plenty of Cash back cards or proprietary cards that offer "bonus categories" on spend besides airline related purchases.
For a beginner you are off to a good start. Keep learning and reading threads in our community.
