Who Gets Which Card? How we Manage 2-Player Mode!

Doubling your accounts is the most underrated way to earn more points fast, especially for families who want to travel without doubling their spending. 

• Credit card points and miles hobbyists can double their rewards by using a “two-player mode” strategy with a spouse or partner
• Each person has their own credit score and ability to open cards, allowing couples to earn twice the signup bonuses
• When deciding which partner applies for which cards, consider credit scores, 5/24 status, and who can best maximize the benefits
• For beginners, alternating card applications every 45 days gives each person 90 days between applications
• Always refer your partner to cards when possible to earn additional referral bonuses
• Many loyalty programs allow families to pool points – including Air France, British Airways, United, Hilton, and Marriott
• Consider timing applications for cards with free night certificates so they expire around the same time
• Travel Freely is a helpful app for tracking all your credit cards across both players
