My Wife has different citizenships and therefore passports that I do (although we both have U.S.). She has some of her own charge cards, but also carries some from my accounts but with her name on them (important for VAT refund). She often travels internationally separately, and more frequently than I do. She has offices and employees in most major Countries on Earth. So she has resources and can purchase things for me in other Countries to take advantage of exchange rates and tax refunds or exemptions. So, I can take advantage of arbitraging her opportunities when I want something.
Ah ha. That makes eminently good sense. The possibilities afforded by separate travel hadn’t occurred to me (which was slightly dim of me, given how much I used to travel on my own). Thanks for taking the trouble to make such a comprehensive reply, anyway.
