I'm still trying to convince her of the benefits of opening a new FF account, but if that fails, then I'd sure hate to see those miles go to waste. Perhaps someone's tried this out? Just curious. Thanks!
Do not do this. The do-not-fly list likely matches names and FF numbers. You could be in real trouble and the relative may not be permitted to fly.
