Doesn’t work unless they’re on your reservation…here’s what I do when friends family need Economy Plus

Have them book me on their reservation (will require they pay for the extra seat initially)

Once booked, I login and move them to Economy Plus

Finally, they log back in and cancel only my flights…this needs to be done within 24 hours of booking to take advantage of United’s flexible booking policy and get refunded back to your credit card.

If you cancel past 24 hours, all you can get is a future flight credit for the traveler who’s flight was cancelled

Gotcha…suppose it could work as long as you have a cancellation window where the elite member you’re using can cancel without penalty
