I will be booking flights for 3 people later today. Each will be paying using their own credit card.

Is there a way for me to get some bonus miles or something for my trouble?

Your friends should take care of that, not the airline.. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Ask them to buy you some Kellogg's Special K.

Another option is the travel companies that give rebates, such as the one with USAA Visa/MC, which gives 5% cash rebate on all travel. Other credit cards have the same program. My experience, though, is you have to find the best fare, rate, etc., then give specific instructions to the agents. They aren't very good at bargain hunting, and you have to hold a while sometimes.

See some of my comments about USAA MC/Visa in this thread (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum109/HTML/005781.html) (you'll have to scroll down a bit).
