Unfortunatey true.. I was hoping to save baggage fees for my kids who are now old enough to travel on their own. But it appears UA, DL, and AS (haven't checked AA) limit this benefit to flights where the primary cardholder is traveling. So basically useless to me, even I get get AU cards for my kids. Another reason to dump airline CCs and to put my kids on WN flights.
