The problem (that I see) with changing how it currently works is that all of the benefits accrue to a single SkyMiles number. In order to have the dollars accrue to the buyer separately, they would have to have a way to enter at least 2 numbers, and designate which benefits are to be assigned to each.

Without passing judgment on whether the underlying idea makes sense, it just seems to me that this would create a level of complexity that Delta is very unlikely to initiate.
