Give award reservation to someone
 
A very quick question.
My daughter has earned a lot of points (she's 4) - can I make an award reservation using her miles to myself?
(I have asked her, and she said yes) :)
Thanks

Yes, you can book award travel for anyone you like. You'll need to know her PIN though, you might need to ask nicely for her to share it with you :)

I imagine that the PIN would be something like "Thomas" today, and then "snuggly bear" tomorrow. :-)

What a nice daughter! What about taking her to Tivoli or Bakken instead? Much more fun than Disney store!

If your daughter does not have an online account, you will have to create one for her. Once you do that it's no problem. Safe Travels! :cool:

Tut tut. That is bartering her miles, which is against MP program rules. :p

If your daughter is 1K, you will also inherit her status on the award ticket! :)

I wonder if there is a thread here about the youngest person to have various status levels... anyone know?

Joking aside, remember to change the FF number to your number after booking - as it will have your daughter's. If you're *G or any status, you'll want the free bags/free E+/etc.

And yes, it can be changed if on UA metal (under traveler information).
