Why not ask your wife if she would prefer to pay for the rooms out of her own money instead of using your points from "so many cards".
It sounds like she isn't getting these cards herself. If I was you, I'd also ask if she wants to come along on my next trip. If so, she needs to either do her own churning, or let you do it for her.
