Has anyone had success getting a free cancel and mileage refund for all passengers in this sort of situation?
you can probably get this to work but you might have to push the issue or escalate to a supervisor. i would simply explain that you are traveling as a party from different destinations and the sched change for part of the group makes the travel not feasible for all.

it may help your cause/argument if all the 5 tickets are clearly booked out of the same account(s)
