I do seperate tickets all the time for my family. I book with credit card, and I book the family with my miles. Complete non issue. This is even easier for you, as you aren't looking at connections. Book both, decide on E+ or not, and pick seats together. I have status so I never pay attention, but I think UA offers some bundled options that include luggage in addition to earlier boarding as well.

Haha. That said, there is no better way to learn than from our mistakes. I know I wouldn't have known the best way to do this a couple of years ago when I first got these cards. The moral of the story is, never transfer points until after you have found the flights you want at the price you want.
