That's what I figured. I'm sure you're right (this is how TWA did this when they had a similar scheme with their ff program).
I can understand why the traveler should receive the miles (they do the BIS time), but the fact that one can spend $30k on someone's else's travel and for the traveler to solely benefit just doesn't seem completely right to me...
