Looking for a little help.
My father has 156,000 of miles on United, some in his name and some in my mothers name. He also has 178,000 of Chase miles/points in my mothers/business name. I plan on going with him to E"Y using an awards flight from Newark for 85K per round trip flight. Questions are as follows and any answers or general advice are greatly appreciated.
A) Can he book a reward ticket for me in my name if the miles are in my mothers name? Can those transfer to another person?
B) if we're 14,000 miles short for the United rewards flight, can we use the Chase points to supplement or do we buy the remaining points from United?
C) Base on the points he has is there a better way to utilize these points?
Really, Any and all advice is wanted and appreciated so even if it's a small nugget of info please share as I am somewhat limited in my knowledge of these things.
Thanks
