To be fair, I don't think anyone is criticising you for seeking anything you're not entitled to, but most partner gold cards do stay in the family.
I'm hoping to qualify for CCR in May and those closest to me don't travel enough (at least not on OW) to really benefit from a partner card, so I understand the dilemma perfectly.
I agree with you too that, assuming that the people implementing the policy change have got the basic fact right that there is a policy change, it appears to be handled very poorly.
