Don't you think they'd recognize you at the office and decline to submit your info for the 2nd round of FF miles?
Now, if you were to visit a different office, say while on a MR, that might be workable.
You would need to open a new SkyMiles account under a different name and ideally get a consultation done in a different city. I am rather confident they will only let each SkyMiles account get the miles once.
After the miles post to the new account if you transfer all 20,000 back to your real account you will get a 25% bonus (5,000 miles). So you would pay to transfer 20,000 @ .01 = $200, plus the $30 fee makes it $230. Then you would receive a 5,000 mile bonus bringing the total amount transferred to 25,000.
This of course is much more deceptive than getting the miles for your first consultation.
