United 1k

Has anyone heard of this sort of account having a ticket canceled?  My father in law has a 1k account and I'm scared if I book myself a ticket they will shut down his account.  Please enlighten me with your thoughts and knowledge on the subject.

What is wrong with your FIL booking a ticket for you? Why would that be ground for canceling it?

The airlines may cancel tickets if they suspect they were bartered, however unless your FIL is making ticket for loads of people they are very unlikely to suspect that.

Even if they would close it, they would reopen it when they realize that you are his SIL.

Thanks for your reply!  I was only concerned because Ive heard horror stories of people booking an account for someone with a different last name and the account getting shut down!.. Ill let him know were good to go!  Thank you!

Rumors on FT that this has been discontinued entirely sometime in the end of August.
