I don't know what the terms of the Avis deal was exactly, but FF miles will generally only post to the personal named account of same person doing the activity (taking a flight, renting a car etc) -- this is to protect against the 'improvement' you suggest, but in another shape: Requiring employees to post their miles to the company account instead of to their personal account.
- gpvos 11y agoWhat would be wrong with posting air miles to the company account? It seems like an extremely logical and good thing to do to me, and I don't understand why airlines would want to discourage it.
- malft 11y agoIt would remove the incentive for employees to pay $2k of company money to get $100 worth of (personal) free stuff.
- saurik 11y agoWhy would car rental companies (or airlines, or hotels, or anyone else in the travel business who noticed this particular quirk of how businesses conduct travel) want to discourage this? It doesn't help them at all to make this change, and would likely seriously hurt them.
