How do you usually arrange flights when traveling?
This content is machine-translated.
Once, while planning a trip with my papa (a male supporter), I thought it was strange that he kept asking for my frequent-flyer number. Then I found out he had tried to book my ticket using my miles without asking me.
When I confronted him after discovering this, he offered to buy the miles from me, but I declined because the amount wasn’t remotely fair.
Then, on another trip, even though he should only have been able to use his miles to book tickets for relatives up to the second degree, he listed me as a relative without my permission and booked my ticket using his miles.
It was discovered at check-in, so there was nothing I could do, and I ended up being treated as if I were traveling improperly, against my wishes.
Is this normal? Am I justified in being angry?

You should definitely inform the club.
Both male and female members can hide their true circumstances during the interview.
Even when a staff member says, “I recommend them,” something outrageous can happen, and there are often times when you’re left shocked.
I believe one of the benefits of a dating club is the ability to share information, so please consider reporting it. I hope no one else suffers as a result.
Personally, I think this is serious enough to warrant expulsion from the club…

I’m in Seattle.
I do ask for the woman’s frequent-flyer number and add the miles for her, but… Did I also give her my password and end up having my miles stolen?

It’s Joe.
You’ve got some nerve trying to issue an award ticket using the questioner’s miles. Even Joe—of all people?—couldn’t pull that off. That’s completely unacceptable.
Anyway, I have a family member who works for an airline. As you pointed out, the basic rule is that it’s limited to relatives within two degrees of kinship.
That said, some airlines have different rules. And, though I probably shouldn’t say this too loudly, the two-degree rule is basically just for show. As long as the person is registered, the airline almost never investigates the actual relationship.
Still, I understand why you’re angry. Joe also thinks this makes him look like a sandlot baseball catcher—without a mitt. But couldn’t you give him some leeway, thinking of it as money that went toward your allowance? Of course, if you’re still not satisfied, I think you have every right to be angry.
However, the papa (a male supporter) is probably going to feel pretty embarrassed, so please either give him a way out or forgive him once things have gone far enough.

Maybe he wanted to keep the costs down (lol). It sounds plausible. But using someone else’s miles without permission isn’t right. If he did something wrong to you, it’s okay to be angry, though your relationship with that papa will probably get worse…
It does cost money, but the O-tomo de Mile option is actually a better deal.

That’s not normal. I also ask women for their frequent-flyer numbers, but that’s so I can add the miles to their accounts.
By the way, I don’t think you can use someone else’s miles just by knowing their frequent-flyer number.
