is this normal (i.e. if an elite books a reward ticket for someone else then the ticket holder gets the elite benefits).

If not, what's up?

I can't even change the a/c number on the ticket to hers (no status).

Should we just shut up, enjoy the free bags and let her board first (I am not flying with her).

Or is this going to cause her trouble at the airport?
