#1 - You could buy something through the airline's online mall. You can use any credit card and you will earn points.
#2 - Not sure. SPG should be ok because the points are in the hotel system. Chase UR points are a different matter since those are bank points transferrable to partners. Not sure what happens. However if you and wife both have CSP cards and one person cancels they could(and should) transfer any points over to the spuose's card before canceling.
#3 - Please see this thread

3) How long do I have to wait before re-applying for new cards(churning) so I get a new bonus? Is there a place in FT that speaks to that?
4) Any other advice?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I still am a newbie and trying to learn the system here. Thanks for your help!
