I bet he turns it into gift cards or pays to transfer them.

Anyway, he keeps fretting about the backup flights while I'm waiting on a change window to open, just can't stand seeing them in his upcoming flights. He has added his companion to all the flights, including the backup flights, so I can't refare or make changes. He is only willing to remove them for a few minutes at a time - even on the backup flights that he has zero intention of using, as the dates are all wrong.

Worst gift recipient ever. I'm about to call the ~15k points I stand to save a lost cause, and a small price to pay to learn never to make that offer again.

/rant. Thank you for your understanding, lol
