then, when booking, is it better to use one card and one transaction, or two separate?
Each passenger earns one mile per mile flown. Who bought it and where it was bought doesn't matter. If you buy tickets for four other people (and you don't fly) on a 2,000-mile flight, then you earn 0 miles and each passenger earns 2,000 miles in his or her personal mileage account.
