It isn't cheating if it is allowed.
It is only cheating if it is prohibited, and I do something contrary to the rules.
Heck, I have stopped for stop signs when you couldn't see a car in any direction for miles around. I never wore a seat belt until it became a law. Then I never drove without one. I'm a "rules is rules" kind of person.
But I do not see how helping a friend be the lucky person next in line breaks any rules.
And anyone who made 8 reservations for the same date should be paying 7 cancellation fees.
