Not that I am aware of...

... but you can get awards for others. There are a few within the Middle East for 20k, and Sri Lanka to/from the Maldives (also 20k).

I know this becuase I recently signed my grandparents, an uncle, and two cousins up for Skywards based on one trip from Africa to Europe. At the end, they will each have 20k in their account, and I will be able to use those for the flights described above - and being a frequent traveller to Dubai, a good set of freebies for me.

There is also an option (what I believe is) called 'Family Bonus' where you can get miles for other, non-frequent flying family members - basically, they cannot earn anything, but you get 25% of their miles. Perhaps an option if you have any family members in this situation. Unfortunately, this cannot be done retrospectively for you and the miles you have already earned.

I hope this helps.
