No, the individual accounts stay same as they were before forming the HHA, just you get access to the collective ballance.

how does one actually book an award from the household account?
I logged into the the household account and attempt to made a award booking, but as the primary account does not have sufficient miles, I thought it would automatically use other accounts in the family to make up for the differences?
the awards required is 150K miles, the head of household account has 135K mile, and the second family member has 51K miles
is there a special link on ba.com?

Long time lurker of this forum.. Would love some guidance re Chase 2 for 1 and the Household account. Here's the situation.
Mom will be travelling with my 10 y.o. son return JFK-LHR-PSA (I will not be travelling).
Currently have a 2 for 1 in my account courtesy of the Chase BA visa. If I add both mom and son to my household account, can it be used for the two of them to travel (without me)? Or is this wishful thinking?

Since the rule says miles of household member under 18 yo cannot be redeemed, and miles will be transferred to the household account owner if the child is removed, does that mean to use those miles early, I have to remove the child ahead of time to get the miles, then wait 6 months to add the child back in order to use those miles to book tickets for a family trip? Or will the miles go back to the child and freeze again?

They are not frozen, you use a proportion of the miles every time you redeem, no need to wait until the child becomes 18. Or just transfer your miles to Avios.com, leaving enough in the household for a redemption, redeem and when you bring them back from from avios.com you'll have everybody else's miles decrease, except yours. Can get everybody to 0.
What you propose would work too, but I guess after you recreate children's accounts they start from 0, as they'll be different from the original. You'll lose their lifetime TPs this way.
