My SO has moved a lot, before and after we met so she's ALWAYS having to call in and verify addresses. I know she doesn't enjoy it but she follows any instructions exactly and has caught on quickly.
I handle everything before and after the CC apps. I keep it simple with 1 card for everything right now. Meet spend then switch. Prioritize points and just keep it to 1 card, don't try to maximum between each card yet.
I do make sure to keep an eagle eye on her credit. I push the limits on mine but not hers as far as apps and open accounts go.
