Personal Assistant question
I was wondering if I can have my personal assistant sign up for a credit card and have it linked directly to my frequent flyer accounts? Or will she need her own frequent flyer account (SPG) and book the ticket for me or have them transfered to my airline frequent flyer accounts?
Thanks.
Thanks.

+1 - Exactly. If the assistant is booking OP's travel, it's OP's # which she needs. AU is helpful if she needs to deal with the CC issuer on OP's behalf by phone. But, simply the card information is all the assistant needs to book OP's travel.

You have two choices, she can sign up and get the bonus and spend points/miles for herself, and you can reimburse her, or you can add her as an AU and get the points from her spending with no bonus.
