16.1.14. Subject to Clause 16.1.12, Awards can only be issued by British Airways to members of the Household Account (and will not be issued to persons that are not members of such an account), as designated/nominated by a Household Account member at the time of issuance, after which Awards may not be transferred or reissued to a different name.
You can deactivate the household account when you need to get a ticket for a non family member, or add the non family member to your "family". IIR there was a 6 month waiting period if you deactivate to prevent people from switching it on and off.
