Oh I know that, it is not just for the combined accounts

I mean not the combined accounts from both husband and wife.

Exactly as CVG_kid explained, I am "forced" to keep a Dividend turned TYP card forever because it is a conversion from the old AMEX something that earned 5 pts on everything the first year? and the earning has 5 years life... Those points now are the ones that have the longest expiration date in 2015. The total is less than 10K. But I would have to use up ALL of my other TYPs (208K) before I would get to this last 10K, if I close that particular Sponsor Account. This is absolutely very annoying, because that card now has no purpose of existing with only 1% earning, but carries a reasonably good credit line which I could not move to other card each time I asked Citi I was fed the BS of "due to new regulation"... I understand you could keep going up the chain but when they finally agree move, they would make a hard pull - that is a hard pull for nothing!
