Or in another case, some cash back cards have annual cash dividend limit. Is possible to open separate accounts for spouses and double cash dividend since everybody would be using their own card?
thanks
Getting two cards in two different names should result in getting bonuses on each card. There are other issues, such as your credit rating, costs, etc., but you should get all the miles and bonuses that come with each card. If you have adult children and they can qualify for a credit card, they can get their own also.
I am a OnePass member and, as far as I know, CO has no idea who my wife is. Nor should they care. A mile earned is a mile earned, no matter which account it goes into. A mile purchased, as by a credit card issuer, is a mile purchased.
The airline should not care either how miles are redeemed or by whom. A mile redeemed is a mile redeemed. If a seat is available for rewards, the airline will trade it for x number of FF miles. Why should they care who gets it?
