So if I were in your place, I would be putting both bags into my name. However, the very request for both bags to be in your name could ring alarm bells for a suspicious agent.
Thanks,
Globaliser - I didn't see your comment yesterday. I guess I could either a) check-in one bag and ask for it to go under my name or b) OLCI (can you do that from MIA) and go to bag drop on my own? That should cover it surely?
If not, I can always get her an Avios return, though I think the extra flights at the end for her may be the nail in the coffin of me persuading her to do this again!

I agree! So far the expense has always put us off. The money has invariably been spent on ba.com!
