I do not know what they do about birthdates.
While the frequent flyer's birthdate is in the computer profile, it is not an item that is verified or checked when redeeming miles or obtaining perks (like entering lounge). When earning miles, all that is needed is the flyer's name and his/her FF number. So, if you know someone who has the same name, you can definitely combine earnings and share perks. Its also something for the miles-fanatic to consider when naming his/her offsprings! :-)

dont put it in an account where u would freak out if you lose all the miles. is there a phantom account is ur family? (like ur bro who rarely flies?)

actually, for 1 offs, i think its operationally feasible to just put in ur own. just dont do it too often then you wont be flagged.
