I signed both of us up for Ameniti about a month ago, and the miles haven't posted yet. One of my main concerns is that these award seats could vanish at any time, which is why I'm trying to figure out the fastest way to do this if we're going to try for F, otherwise I will feel compelled to book the awards quickly in C.

Actually, just found this on FAQ for Transfer miles:
How many transferred Mileage Plus miles may an individual receive?
A member may receive a maximum of 15,000 transferred miles from any other Mileage Plus account or accounts per calendar year. Miles can only be transferred in increments of 1,000 with a minimum of 5,000 miles per account. The 15,000-mile maximum does not affect the number of purchased Buy/Gift miles that an individual may receive in his/her Mileage Plus account per calendar year.
So if you do the transfer to Mrs. Danski, then she can ALSO receive a gift of miles too.
