Can MCO be used for my wife's ticket (MCO = Miscellaneous Charge Orders)

I have (through s travel agent) an MCO from a prior cancelled flight. My wife and I are flying United next month. I know my ticket can be paid for using the MCO. Can my wife's ticket also be paid for using the MCO, or not? Thanks,

Whole page on United.com on what it takes to transfer to another passenger.

Yeah it makes sense that would dominate. I just happened to know what it stood for. And apparently it's also in our glossary that no one (including me) looks at! As an aside, over at Reddit we tried making a glossary a few times but there are so many acronyms it's really an impossible task.

The United Policy talks about what it takes to transfer the MCO but that seems different than using the MCO in part to purchase a ticket for another person.

It is at the bottom of most pages and in the Help menu.

Also, there is "New" United Airlines Forum Glossary for more UA specific term.
