How so? Sounds like OP is using it and his wife isn't.
If the card has your name printed on it, then your name is encoded on the card's mag stripe also. Whether there is some other connection to Amex systems that displays any sort of other information on screen when you swipe a card, I don't know. I'm not sure you'll know until you try it.
