I like extra points for extra questions, so here I start:
1). If you can't or don't plan to build up your Delta miles to 25K, you may consider donation your Skymiles to charity. Skymiles are difficult to redeem anyway.
Same with UA. However, you are in time for the
new one-way domestic award (12500 miles). If you can find availability and get yourself another one-way ticket back, you are all set. Give the remaining to charity.
Plenty of charities take miles donation. Just ask Mr. Google and pick the one your heart desires.
2). No, you can't deposit others' flown miles into your own FFP account, even when they are your parents. However, if you charge their tickets on your Amex SPG, you get to keep the purchase SPG points.
