Finally AI has launched their family miles pooling plan and yes of course it's a botched job.

How it works:
1. You have to create a "Mera Parivar" or "Join a Parivar"
2. Decide on what % of points the HOF (100, 75, 50) and members get (0, 25, 50). Do all the members get the same %? Probably.
3. You put in member's FFP# and hey presto you get their Name, DOB, and Passport# !!! Did anyone in AI go through any privacy, data security, GDPR, training? Anyone? And you can try it for yourself... enter random (or known) 9 digit combinations... have fun stealing personal data courtesy AI
3. Confirm the member if you're not there just to steal personal information
4. I guess there is some sort verification/validation that's done and then they're active
5. Largely similar process if you're adding yourself as a member to a "Parivar"
6. Anyone added to a parivar is stuck there for a year!

And how it's stupid:
1. I still can't get over the fact that you can get pretty much anyone's DOB and Passport # from this site! I'm not sure why AI is not sharing the Aadhaar and PAN information but I guess that's a V 2.0 release
2. You can only take a fixed % of miles into the family pool account. Well that's incredibly stupid too. Why won't all the miles just accumulate in the HOF OR in the member's account and HOF can take whatever miles he/she wants into the family pool. Why is it a fixed % set for eternity? Why oh why!
3. What about miles already in the member's account? Is there a way to move those into the pool? I didn't see a way to do that as yet

I was looking forward to pooling my wife's miles into my AI account so that we can better use them. I was hoping for a simpler program but it was too much to ask.
