That may be the explanation, but it's contrary to the published rules which extend the benefit only to the primary cardholder. If UA's coding was correct, the waitlist would prioritize the primary cardholder first.
While it may not be a big deal in this specific context, it raises broader questions about the reliability of the waitlist coding.
