Effective 11/15/15, the rules are different for CSP vs. UR-earning business cards (like the Ink Plus).
Ink Plus: The new program agreement states that CSP: You can add one household member as an AU and then xfer UR to their programs.
NOTE: According to the Chase website, for both business cards and CSP "only primary cardmember frequent travel program accounts will be saved and authorized user (i.e. householder [sic] member or business owner) frequent travel program account information must be re-entered each time you want to transfer points."
For discussion of technical problems related to combining UR points with other UR accounts, see Problems Combining UR points between accounts.
Ink Plus: The new program agreement states that
- for combining points (i.e., moving between two UR accounts), "[y]ou can move your points, but only to another Chase card with Ultimate Rewards belonging to you or one member of your household or owner of the company, as applicable."
- for transfers from UR to travel partner programs, "[y]ou can transfer points in 1,000 point increments, but only to participating frequent travel program accounts belonging to you or an owner of the company who is listed as an authorized user on the account."
NOTE: According to the Chase website, for both business cards and CSP "only primary cardmember frequent travel program accounts will be saved and authorized user (i.e. householder [sic] member or business owner) frequent travel program account information must be re-entered each time you want to transfer points."

11.15.2015 Ultimate Rewards transfer ONLY to own & AU's airline/hotel accounts
Just received this:
We are making changes to the Chase Ultimate Rewards® point transfer program.
Here are a few things you need to know:
Starting November 15th, when you transfer points to participating frequent travel programs, you can only transfer points to yourself or an owner of the company who is listed as an authorized user on your card account.
If you previously saved your frequent travel program numbers on Chase Ultimate Rewards, you will need to reenter them.
Please make sure the name on your Chase account matches the name on your frequent travel program accounts.

Hopefully (since it isn't mentioned either way), the "combine points" option will remain the same so that one spouse can transfer UR points to the other spouse's UR-eligible card.

My wife is the primary account holder, but I have a card in my name under her account. Will I still be able to transfer points to my account?

This is Chase's second attempt to refine this policy. See this thread which began in November 2012:

I received the notification for my Ink. I don’t have CSP. I interpret it as only being able to transfer to my own airline/hotel accounts or those belonging to the business owner (which is myself). I see NO option of being able to transfer it to a spouse or “household member” if he/she isn’t a business co-owner. My wife and I each have Ink cards and we share the same address. It looks like she won’t be able to transfer her points to me.
