MileagePlus - 6 Travellers
first thread - I am a complete novice when it comes to air miles schemes like this.
I have booked LHR-LAX-LAS-SFO-LHR for the 6 of us, after making a mileage plus account for myself only. My booking confirmation shows that I will receive up to 12,166 reward miles. Is this the number of miles for 6 travelers, or will I need to make 5 more MileagePlus accounts to receive 12,166 miles for each traveler.

Probably not in the sense you may be thinking about.
Airline miles can not be used to reduce the purchase price of a "paid" ticket.
Sometimes "award" tickets purchases can be a combination of miles and cash. UA had this at one time, it may come back.
Also in some cases, miles can be converted to cash and used to reduce the net cost of a purchase. For UA, Chase MP credit card miles can be converted to cash.
