Not sure about your particular program, but with Star Alliance (*A), I provide my United MilagePlus number when booking on partner airlines, so all of my miles go directly into this one United account regardless of which partner airline I fly. When you finally have enough points, you can book a flight through United and spend the points for any of the airlines in the partnership, not just United.
Hope this makes sense?
