I did the same for both of my kids at birth. They did the typical family trips, college trips etc over the years, and ended up accumulated 400K BIS and 250K BIS by the time they graduated from college with minimum efforts. The balances would be higher if not for all the award bookings I redeemed for them over the years. Now both travel for work and have a head start to get to MM BIS.
Since both Mrs. UA_Flyer and I are MM and GS, my kids are gifted with our status, and they are hooked.
