Spouse adding on direct as a new member

[Stargazer65]

We were planning to add on a little more. All 4 contracts we have are in my name, two are direct so I have a blue card. But I thought it would be nice if DW had her own Membership, her own blue card, etc... Probably even a different UY anyway since she will on occasion travel with her sister, at a different time of year so we wouldn't normally want to combine the points with a transfer.

Anyone else do that? Is there any downside to that (other than the points can't be combined with mine)?

Edit to add: I guess one downside is she can't use the existing member incentives?

That’s all I can think of with the incentives.

I did something similar. I put resale in my name only with one UY. When I added direct, it was a different UY with my husband. I retitled the resale contracts to add him because I thought I was going to add direct in that UY. We never added direct so retitling wasn’t necessary.

If you go with a different UY, I think your logic is fine. You can always retitle later on.

It was nice when my husband got on a direct contract — I no longer needed to be with him for merch and dining discounts!

I’m not following when you say, the points can’t be combined and she will not get the member incentive discount. Are you thinking of having her as the sole owner? Why wouldn’t you both be on the deed? Then yiu can transfer points between the memberships and get the member incentive pricing.
