I book trips for my wife relation to attend college, in the US and England since they are in China.

We have helped several of her brothers, and sisters children.

The miles have helped a great deal, never a problem..

If I can't use his points, I would be on the hook for over 600 dollars r/t. Is there anything wrong with using points to send a third party to Toronto for school.

No offense, but this is a silly question. He can buy a plane ticket for the mayor of Upper Siberia, or a Martian if he wants to. Has absolutely nothing to do with ethics. It's as ridiculous a question as me asking if it's ethical to use my BK Gift Card to buy my father a whopper. But I won't feed the troll.
