If I am playing on my husband's card I always keep my card out as well. If
I hit a W2G I take out my husband's card, and when the attendant's come, hand
them mine and my ID. I've never had a problem. The best advice if playing
on a significant other's card - be subtle and don't mention it.

What Linda does is fine, but you are NOT required to present a players
card when you hit a taxable jackpot. At Sam's Town, the other day,
when Joanie hit for almost $11,000, she was offered a comp "IF" she
produced her card. They were told that she was playing on my card
which was presented and "Voila" a comp to Billy Bob's.
No problem that she played on my card.

An interesting situation with at least one AC casino in which I play:
I can't speak from personal experience (yet), but I'm told that if you
win a W2-G reportable jackpot with your spouse's card in, the casino
requires the W2-G be issued in the spouses name (and if they're not
present, they'll need to claim the win at the cage when on site).
In fact, after the first reported jackpot, spitting out the W2-G from
the system is near automatic. To my irritation, photo ID is rarely
requested - they just take my card. Makes me nervous having misplaced
at least one card over the years.
On occasion I put in play on Bev's card in advance of her arrival in
AC for the weekend. With "luck" I'll be facing this scenario more
than once ultimately; it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Hey, Elliott, please avoid the phrase "taxable jackpot". "Reportable"
is more accurate. It irks me a little when I hear slot attendents use
the "taxable" reference. They're all potentially taxable, as is any
session win. (Unfortunately, in more years than not, mine have been
"tax free"

Hey, Harry, talk about a mix bag. All my play at the borgato is
under the wifes card. Last year I had six "Reportable" W2-G jackpots.
All six times I would pull her card, hand the attendent my card,
driver license and SS card. Four times the paper work came back in
her name, my SS number, the other two in my name, my SS number. No
problem being paid on the spot. I just scribble an unreadable
signature and file jointly. Regards Jack P

A related anecdote.
My wife hit (on her card) first weekend of last month. The start of a
five week period that put a smile on our faces - six W2-G royals - a
nice bankroll boost after a VERY long arid period (2 years). We
netted 3 of those; we played hard and long.
At any rate, she signed off on the paperwork without glancing at it
much (I've long mused about what I might get her to sign off in this
fashion). The attendent returned with the cash saying, "Here you go,
Jennifer". As I expect you recall, Jack, her name is Bev. Turns out
the machinery hiccuped and churned out a W-2G in the name of a player
who had been at the machine an hour or so before Bev. LONG wait to be
paid.
Interestingly, the attendent upon returning said that her play had
been recorded in the system accurately, despite the mix-up (attested
to a few days later when cashback arrived; I project the amount with
precision - no points reported during play at this casino).
Don't know if the idea of letting her "scribble" on the original form
stand flitted through her mind momentarily. I suspect not, she's as
honest as the day is long. The opportunity to avoid a reported win
under my SS# would glimmer in mine briefly (my integrity runs strong
through dusk, but after sunset I get a mite twisted).

Thank you harry, enjoyable reading, you can dig them up. I also
know what you mean by she's as honest as the day is long. My good
wife takes it to extreme. One incident comes to mind, during her long
career with the federal court system, she held a job that let her be
the first to see the search warrents handed down, she would often
tell me if I see your name on one I'm not going to tell you, and she
didn't. Jack P
Classic!
