How to hide reservations for friends/family?
No-joy on preemptive googling this.
Being the familial FF "guru" (VERY loosely used, especially here on FT), I often book reservations for others. No problem (well, it'd be nice if I earned the PQDs, but whatever) except their reservations are cluttering up my view of UA.com.
Any way to hide other people's reservations? (If it helps, some--but not all--of them have their own MP#, though I'm not sure how much they use the site). Or just put up with this totally minor hassle?
cheers.

Count your blessings when these reservations don't disappear of their own accord.

Yeah! That solution would be 10x worse than the problem.

That would be my solution. You can rename reservations ("Dad's New Orleans Brewers' Convention") and put them into groups with any name you choose. These names and groups only affect the web view, though. The Android app, at least, ignores them (or did, the last time I used it).

Maybe I'm not completely understanding your question, but is there any reason you need to be logged in to your account when making their reservations? If you are paying, as opposed to using your own miles to book award tickets for them, then you don't need to connect the reservation to your account at all.

The united.com Club is a "club" that one can join for $25 dollars per year. After joining, each ticket purchased on united.com adds a $5 credit to your travel bank.

Travel Bank total shows in your MP account summary and the funds are available on the payment page for bookings.
