But in the long run that doesn't matter too much: just a short-run limitation on redeeming a large award until one account has enough points. (Starwood experts: is this true?)
Ok, I understand that each of us has to apply our own frequent flyer accounts to each of our tickets to earn miles.
How does it work with hotels? If we both stayed at a hotel together, do we each get SPG points? And regardless of the answer to that question, she can get additional points by using the SPG Amex to pay for the room?
And I assume from your statement, miles cant' be combined between family members, right?
Thanks again
