Platinum reward request - family member?
Just wondering whether anyone WPs/P1s have tried / had any success in requesting an unpublished reward seat for a family member? As WP I was able to do this for myself last year, but haven't tried it for family. Would be domestic MEL-CBR-MEL, economy reward if possible - Thursday night - Tuesday morning so not absolute peak time.

Im P1 and have had no problems getting a number of unpublished reward seats for the family and I from Syd to LA return. Usually pay for and put the 2 boys down the back and wife and I and the little one up the front with reward seats. But it is around 160k points I think.
Domestic has been very easy also over the years and actually less points required if I had asked at the lounge.

How old are your boys that go economy? After I went first class Melbourne to Auckland I asked the question on Facebook about sending our 4yr old twins as unaccompanied children in economy while my wife and I went first class.... then added just asking for a friend at the end.
