As the title says, I know that Chase rule states that you can only transfer UR to SW if my wife is an AU, but if she isn't, but has my last name and address, can it work anyway? Thanks!

Any reason you can't just put them in your account and book whatever tickets you need from there?

I'm guessing adding as AU still counts as a new account, therefore counts towards 5/24 rule. Should be avoided if wife is still below and planning to get some Chase cards in near future.

Don't do it. Use the shopping portal to buy a $1 sprinkler head from Home Depot for store pickup. That will keep her points alive.

I *think* there's a status display in the shopping portal which will show the pending transaction within a couple days. Points usually post within a week but there is no specific notification.

You can transfer between husband and wife, with the right cards. It gets a bit tricky - google will help.
As to WHY -that might help. Might not be the smartest thing to do.
