Flight Passes for Business
Hi Everyone,
This is my first time purchasing a business flight pass for employees of my company. What makes immediate sense is that the miles flown on the pass would be added to their respective Aeroplan accounts -- what I am wondering is... if the spend becomes part of their account as well (I am paying completely for the pass) or the purchase price lands up as my MQD?
Does anyone have experience with this? Also, if my initial assumption is wrong about MQMs let me know. TIA.

Current Small Business Flight Pass
https://fp.aircanada.com/wallet/serv...R/317LC0000130Traveller Eligibility
I am wanting to know how strict AC is with the traveller eligibility.
Four members of my clan (myself included) are now needing to travel back and forth to YVR ex YLW and the Latitude 30 flight credit would be perfect.
The employer would be by CCPC of which I am an amployee.
I could technically hire my wife and kids but would prefer not to unless it is becomes vital to AC.

I think AC's concern is that you would buy a 30 credit pass and then sell credits to strangers at some markup. Then they wrote the terms, never imagining a family might want 30 credits for themselves.
I've looked into business passes a few times, but there was never much (if any) per-credit savings over a 1 or 2 person pass (so 4 people bought 2-3 passes instead of sharing a business pass).

I know people who have done what you're looking for.

Would hate to buy it and get denied.
