Flying SAS -- what program do I credit the miles to?
We usually fly CO/NW, but we're about to fly SAS a total of ~8k miles. I'm tempted to credit the miles to UA. Since I don't fly them any more I've transfered my remaining UA miles to HH, and I'm working on building the last drip up to 5k miles via iDine.
I can transfer my miles to HH, but I doubt they'd let me transfer those of the wife/kids to my HH account.
So -- what do I do? The SAS program, Eurobonus, doesn't let kids under 18 join. Do any SAS partners allow mileage credit to minors, and not have a requirement to deposit mileage every year or two? I can't see my kids flying UA anytime soon. I was thinking of trying QF, but only because they're not UA.
Even if I could attach my credit cards to the kids' UA accounts via iDine, it's an *awful* lot of eating out to go from the ~8k miles we'll get from this trip to enough miles for a ticket.
Each of the kids has more than enough for a free CO ticket, and they regularly accumulate Nonepass miles...
Suggestions welcomed!
