BA allows you to create a household account and pool points from multiple accounts as long as all of them have the same address on file. The other FF programs I'm familiar with allow transfers but with a fairly hefty fee, so it's more like buying miles.

The rules say Chase UR points can be transferred to a spouse or domestic partner, but I think as a practical matter you can transfer them to anyone. Amex MR points cannot be transferred to another MR account, but you can transfer them to someone else's FF account, so for most purposes it's the same.
