You would likely be much better off using the cost of your upcoming trip to meet the spend requirement for a lucrative sign-up bonus on an additional card.

If your wife is credit-worthy and does not already have a Chase Sapphire card in her own name, perhaps she can apply for the CSR card, and charge the cost of your trip to it to earn the card's SUB.

Or, perhaps you can apply for the Amex Platinum or the Capital One Venture X. Any one of those three cards comes with Priority Pass lounge access, which would be very nice to have on your trip.
