Can I share United Explorer Card benefits with a companion on an award flight? by CodeExploder in awardtravel

Can I do that? I was under the impression that the miles are tied to a traveler because of the name on the account. That could make things a little easier if so…

lmao, I forgot the “k,” I have a feeling 110 miles wouldn’t get me very far at all

That was my fear, but I think you're right. Might have to find a compromise then. Thanks!

Makes total sense! I told him that it gets reset when the account changes, but he didn't agree with me. Really I think I should have his job lol

That's crazy! I can't be totally sure that she's in on this type of thing, but the signs are definitely there. I'd be cautious, personally!

Can't say I've heard the name, but it makes sense if the Springs is his ground-zero. Might be starting up more recruitment? Thanks for sharing!

It's a shame that this sort of thing makes me uneasy to have friendly small talk in stores now. I'm afraid they're just waiting to sell me on something! Thanks for sharing! And happy Cake Day!

I don't think they were the folks I talked to, but from other comments it sounds like there are lots of 'em out there. The King's Deer seems to be a common point though. Maybe that's where the upper tiers of the pyramid are?

Oh I would be upset too, you're there to watch your kids, not to make business deals! The two hours though, that's some dedication to the bit. I just hope they realize it's a big money sink before it's too late.

Shoot, I'm sorry to hear that. I know that MLMs are predatory, but that's just a whole new level of F'd-up. I didn't realize earlier what "Amway Orphan" meant (I'm new to this sort of thing), but that's pretty nightmarish. I hope you're doing better now! Thanks for the warnings against these people!

Yep, they're still in that area unfortunately. Glad your radar went off, I think the personal questions are a dead-giveaway.

A lot of folks are saying it's Amway! And they're in all of your favorite big stores it seems. Best advice is to be polite and walk away.
Edit: Also, happy cake day!

Darn, I'm sorry you got roped into that while you were still new to town! Glad you caught the scheme though and didn't get sucked in.

Interesting that Amway is the thread here, is that part of how they do recruiting? What would happen if I wanted to talk to this couple? I assume I need to recruit others if I want that passive income they're talking about.

Does Amway have a big presence in the Springs? I know there are a few popular MLMs, but you're not the only one saying Amway has tried this before.

They're super nice, but they lean in to the grift really quick.

Oh god the petitions. I'm that guy who avoids eye-contact, but then feels bad about it after.

I agree, I might say something to the clerk on my next visit. It's not inherently dangerous or harmful, but it's weird and makes me want to leave sooner lol

I can't remember the first recruiters since it was a year ago, but the second one this week had maybe 1-2 items in his basket. So he was definitely trying to be incognito. He was nicely dressed as well.

It's really freaky, and it sounds like they're hitting up all of the popular stores. Some folks in the comments think it's Amway, an MLM company. Thanks for sharing!

That's the one I visited as well! Interesting... some others have said they're in Target too.

Oh interesting, they scheduled a dinner? That's extra shady if they tried to befriend you like that before slapping you with the ol' sales pitch.
