many thanks
Share 50K with her. She has 100K, you have 70K.
She shares 30K with you. She has 70K, you have 130K.
She applies for Barclays card. She has 105K, you have 130K.
You or she applies for SPG card. Transfer 20K SPG to US Air. You both have 130K.
If you need the miles too soon to do the card apps, your best bet is to do the shares as above and hope for a buy/gift promo soon to get the 50K she needs.
