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
wait for it

Sitting on 160k AA. Around 3-4 years ago had my original AA account shut. This one migrated over from US Airways after the merger and was never used since. Is there a significant risk with the current account? I can always choose the safer option and use with their hotel/rental car redemption option, which as a AA credit card account holder gets me close to 1 cent per mile value.....

Why is that most important? Do we know what's happening with all SPG airline partners in August? What if their transfer ratio is devalued somehow...? That would be a big blow to SPG value... Is there any DP that SPG value is safe??

The packages were always the most valuable use for them, although making less uses for it may lower the demand thereby lowering the market price.
