Can children 'redeem' aeroplan miles for others?
Looking at aeroplan's T&C, it would seem even infants can have their own accounts and earn miles. But my question is, can they redeem miles for an adult? say their parent...?

The infant will only start to earn miles once they have their own ticket, which I think is when they're 2? That's how long my Aeroplan account has been active. Not sure what my parents did with all the miles I earned when I was a kid, I think they might have just accumulated in the account, but you can redeem for anyone you want from any Aeroplan account.

AMEX -> Avios, I'm not quite sure. But BA's household account kind of provides a workaround

If MR to AE names don't have to match, what about the VISA Aerogold? Do the names have to match? Thanks!

My wife asked me this tonight and I have no idea. I was talking about this thread with her (yes, she's on the receiving end of all of your posts! (the FT community)

Heck, it took 3 months/statements for TD to correctly input my Aeroplan # to credit my 25K miles... imagine if it's ANOTHER Aeroplan # of mine in the system somewhere...that will mess up things
