You can only use your Aeroplan number for flights that YOU are on, and your friend attempting to 'put your Aeroplan number in' will not work. Remember Status Miles = B.I.S. (Butt in Seat) ONLY. There is no way around it.
Thanks for that YXY, by the end of the year I'll end up with 40k status miles but likely only 7k AC Status. So quite dissapointing but I'll try and scheme an AC trip before the year is out!

Thanks again
