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.
She gets it but differs with me on the ROI. She finds the activity associated with churning (apps, managing a dozen or open accounts, choosing the right card each transaction, calling in for retention offers) too much hassle. She's comfortable with 1-2 new cards per year. I don't mind too much; by never breaking 4/24 she can be our designated Chase churner!
