I disagree with you on this one. I think its fine that you have multiple accounts/people feeding into a single email address, lots of families share only one account for all members.

But families can easily share one acount and have itins mailed to the other members. why not have the email address as the user name?

This particular situation is clearly the other guy's fault for messing up the email address. There is no "identity theft" going on here, they haven't taken anything from you -- he gave away his name and password (again, his fault not a theft!) by messing up the email address. The appropriate credit card was used for the reservation and that is the most important part. You'd think when he didn't get his hotel confirmation, he'd figure out there was a problem and correct it.

I forgot to write that when I requested that my username and pwd be sent to me that they sent me mine and his giving me access to his account. Expedia does clear the credit card info when the uname/pwd is requested.
