Clarification needed on Swiss SaverPass

I know if we order 2 or more Swiss Passes that they are 15% off each. Does this buy us 2 separate passes? or 1 Saverpass with both our names on it? After rereading the website it sounds like we have to *always* travel together. Although we would travel together almost all the time, there might be times I might want to come back a little bit earlier with the kids while my husband stays out for additional photos. Is this possible with the Saver Pass?

Thanks for the clarification from those who have bought the passes before.

If you get the Saver Pass, it will be 1 paper pass, therefore, one of you would be traveling with no pass. But you can travel as a single, but the other person will have no pass, should they decide to go by train. That doesn't even make sense to me as I described it. Okay, one person can travel alone, but the other person will have to purchase a ticket if he should want to come later.

The SaverPass is one pass with multiple names, so you do have to travel together if you want to use the pass.

If you wanted to return earlier with the kids, you could use the pass for yourself, and your husband would have to pay for his ticket for his later trip.

This leads me to a question of mine - hope you don't mind my highjacking this thread.

Planning on trip to
Graubundin/Engadine region. Seems when you stay in a hotel there for 3 or more days you get free transportation around the area. So, worth it to buy a Swiss pass (of whatever kind) to go from Zurich Flughafen to Stein am Rhein, down to Guarda, to Pontresina and then back up to Zurich? Or just get single tickets to do this? Will I need a Swiss pass to connect Guarda with Pontresina or does that trip come under the "free" that the hotels give you?

And finally. . . Is this complicated enough?
