I signed my kids up for SkyMiles last year and it got me wondering what others' strategies are.

• Do your kids have their own SkyMiles account?
• Do you try to use the miles or do you accrue them (and let them devalue over time)?
• Are you saving them up to turn them over when they're 18?
• Do you have other FF programs for them with other airlines?
• Any other strategies/thoughts?
• Any of you have little ones with status already?

I asked a couple people recently and one friend said his oldest child (13-14yo) has close to 250,000 miles and his other kids have slightly less. For me, we weren't really traveling during COVID but are now starting to do more leisure travel as a family. I doubt we'll earn much (maybe 5,000-15,000 miles most years, and a lot of flights will be zero because of companion tickets, etc.) but I figured I'd probably just accrue them and turn them over at age 18. Even though the miles will devalue over time, at least it's a head start on MM status But maybe I should be doing something differently?
