Household Account - Do they verify address information

Hi,

I have a household account with my partner, but would like to book a ticket form myself and a friend with points. We don't have the same address, but I'm wondering if I create a BA account for him and set him up at our address + add him to the household account if anyone will validate this information. I'm assuming the only potential giveaway could be multiple family names.

Thanks in advance

You can do that with the new friends and family feature, no need to add them to the household account.

No. But you don't have to add another person to the household account anymore in order to redeem for them. You can add them to your friends and family list now and can redeem for them.

If you want to pool avios points you will need to add them to a HHA and you will need to have the same address in your BA accounts. The avios used is proportional to each members balance.

If you are happy to pay the full amount of avios and you are currently in a HHA you can add them as a friend/family.

There is no active validation of address.
