I don't think he meant what you are talking about. He means he booked it from the non-elite account but got the availability through the elite account- pure genius!
I understood what he meant, all I was saying was heres another situation where CO allows something which they shouldnt and there was no problems with it, so dont worry about what you did
In my case the people I booked for shouldnt have ben able to get Elite Access and all the goodies that comes along with being a CO Plat, including getting them into the so called Premium Seating area
Once COs computer tags them as Elite it will never do a check to see if in fcat the passenger is, I believe this wouldnt be possible on some other carriers sinc ethey have amuch better cross checking system in place. It will see none of the passengers are Elite and thusly it wont extend Elite benefits to them unless the Elite member is traveling with them on the same PNR
