If this actually occurs, it's as an exception (or, more likely, an omission) on the part of AS, as this is completely contrary to their posted policy (which says, like most other US airlines, that a person cannot earn for the flying of someone else).

Perhaps if the account and ticket says "R Smith", a mistake could be made to allow the mileage for Robert Smith to go into the account of Richard Smith - but this would be very rare, as it is against policy! And certainly, it could not happen for Martha Smith (even though they have the same last name)!

I'd also suggest that you look to see if there are any "referral" bonuses out there and sign up new users for FF accounts befores they fly. I know NWA has one of those out right now, and other airlines have in the past... although you wont get their "miles"... you'll get some bonus miles.

I'd also recommend the Citi Premier Pass Elite Card which wont give you "miles" but give you "Thank You" points for the miles that they fly when you buy their ticket... with hte 10K to 15K bonus point offers out there you'll be very close to the points you need for a free ticket using the Thank You Network.
