In any case, per this Flyertalk and some experiences of United elites that
I know, it now appears that if you are a United elite, your status will
transfer to the reservation of anyone for whom you book an award. So if you
are Platinum and book an award for your no-status Granny on a flight, she
will be able to be assigned to Economy Plus seats at the time of booking and
will even be eligible for a complimentary domestic upgrade. She’ll also
get priority boarding, free checked bags and all of the other goodies of
being Platinum.
On one hand, this is a nice perk and a way to impress people you know and
love. On the other hand, it dilutes elite status by making even more people
eligible for a limited number of premium seats and upgrades. Is it really
fair that someone who has never flown United once gets an upgrade over a mid
-tier United elite who spends a lot of time and money achieving their status
? I go both ways on this, but would say that this potential loophole should
be fixed to maintain the integrity of the elite program. But what say you,
wise TPG readers? |
