Is there anyway to split the PNR at check-in yet still have my Silver wife get my Gold status?
You are not correct. You do not have to split to be CPU'd. However, when you check-in, and are not yet upgraded, you will have to split to get the battlefield upgrade.

If you do split, your wife will still be upgraded behind you. It's the return then that causes issues. Look at the current threads on splitting.
