I live at home with my parents and sister. I fly a moderate amount, and they all fly maybe once a year at most. In an ideal world I'd have family pooling set up so all their status credits get sent to me (they have no real need for them), but obviously you can only set it up with one adult account contributing. They'll all be flying a few trips this year individually and I'd like their status credits.
Am I able to add my mum before her trip, then remove her, then add my sister for her trip etc? I feel like I'm gaming the system, but I can't find anything in the T&C's against it.
Also, I only really care about status (I've flown enough in the last year to just scrape gold, but I'll be struggling to retain it this year without their help) and not points. I can't see an option to only pool status credits, so is my best bet to set up points+status pooling and then transfer back the points to them after the fact?
Finally, they don't get any benefit from my status unless I'm flying with them, right? I'm trying to sweeten the deal for them as much as possible to retain that sweet, sweet gold status - I may have to transfer them 1.5x as many points as they earn or something
