So true! Each spouse gets their own card. First get one, the Plus ($69) and have all bills and expenses go to that card for 3 months. Then get another Plus card in other spouse name, again charge all bills/expenses to that card. Within 6 months you'll have 80,000 points to fly with. 80,000 point for $138, CHEAP! As soon as you get the points added to your respected accounts, BOOK flights. Do book with first card, then second when point are added. Lock in rate. Why? Because during the waiting time, the flight will change up/down, so check daily. Cost nothing but your time to change. Initial $5 fee will be your only out of pocket expense and is a one-time fee no matter how many times you rebook lower fare! Book individual persons one at a time, the site will not display a lower cost seat if you choose 2 or more in search. When the card comes up for renewal, wait for the anniversary points to be added, then cancel the card! As long as you do this within 3 months of anniversary date, you'll get back the $69 fee for the second year!! Then apply for the Premire Card and repeat process. From time to time the premire card will have a sign-up bonus of 50,000. Or opt for the Business card and for the same fee get 60,000 points! Then for $198, you'll have 120,000 points.......Google for special sign up offers, do not always sign up from Chase or SWA web sites!! Boston to California and back to Boston for $79.00!
