Ok. I didn't see a paypal option, maybe I missed that. I haven't redeemed miles since the merger. I'd be glad to open a paypal account and put 50 bucks in it for her whatever.
I find it very strange that you can redeem the miles and put any old name on the ticket but to pay the $5 in fees the names need to match.
I will call them and see what they say! Thanks for the help
