Hello.
Are there any airline frequent flier programs that allow the miles to go to the account of the person buying the tickets (even if they are not the ones doing the traveling)?
Thank you.

I am not aware of any (though if they exist, I'm sure someone else will post). The closest I am aware of would be some kind of "family/household" account like that which BA offers.
Of course, you can earn miles through your CC if you are paying for the tickets. But most programs requires flown miles to be credited to the person flying.

There are a variety of corporate type arrangements that work for buyers to get some kind of points for purchases. Besides BA's program mentioned above, AA, DL, NW, KL and LH are just some of many who have such kinds of program at least for employers. [There are different strengths and weaknesses to each of these programs but there is great value to be had from BA's OnBusiness and LH's CompanyPlus (applicable to many Star Alliance carriers) than with a good number of other corporate type programs.]

Along those lines, AA offers the Business ExtrAA program. Points are based on $ spent rather than miles flown and are in addition to the individual's AAdvantage miles.

AS has a similar program called EasyBiz where the "company" earns miles based on the $$ amount of the purchase and the traveler earns miles for the flight.

For example, AA is here https://www.businessextraa.com/apps/signup/SignUp.jhtml .
For example, here's DL's sign-up: https://www2.delta-skybonus.com/delta/join.do .
[You may want to look out for registration promotions that bring bonus points -- for example AA+SPG had some tie up before -- before signing up online.]

Online works for most all that I'm familiar with.
For example, AA is here https://www.businessextraa.com/apps/signup/SignUp.jhtml .

What source would you recommend for registration promotions? Would there be anything besides this:

Maybe someone else here has some info about current enrollment bonuses that exist.
