I am not too sure of how CO is accommodating to their PEs but I wonder if they will credit the miles for the other itinerary that I intend to check-in online but won't take the flights. Somehow, by not taking the flights which I could not actually fly, CO has the potential to sell the seats for a much higher price.
Has anyone had a similar situation like this before? Perhaps, CO Insider can shed some lights on this matter.
Thanks a lot.

I kind of doubt it. If cost of itin is 132$, means CO knows that it doesn't really have a chance of selling that ticket anyway.
As far as check-in but not take the flight - I think threads here established that if your boarding pass isn't scanned at the gate, you won't get miles. Of course I suppose if flights are at roughly same time, you can get to the gate, scan boarding pass, distract the GA (or say that you forgot your laptop in check-in area) and walk back out. I wonder if anyone done that
