And pax can get flagged, so any future award booking done for him gets cancelled and that account shut down as well (as well as any other 3rd party passengers already booked and flown out of these accounts).

So There's basically no way to protect yourself when selling a AA account?

I sold in 2016. What if I book for myself. Would that flag the account and my flight would get cancelled?

if the account was used to book for someone with different last name
Is booking for a family member (not immediate) with a different last name a problem (AA)?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

if the account gets audited it might be a problem but if you can show proof that it’s a family member you should be safe.

I’ve booked recently a nice few bookings for people with different last names and didnt have any problems bh
