I agree with the last poster - this is way harsh.

If they could go through a portal and buy a UA ticket directly on UA, I really wouldn't see the harm. And if my employee did that I'd have no issue.

BUT, going through a portal to buy on a 3rd party site does have issues regarding changes. If I were asked - and I'd appreciate them asking me rather than send them packing mid-sentence for being forthright!! - I'd simply say that the purchase must be made using my corporate credit card
and directly on the airline's website... no 3rd party sites.
