Do I need a different Miles & More card (number) for each member of my family?

I recently registered to the Miles & More frequent flyer program and I was thinking all flights I buy with reference to this frequent traveler number can earn points (miles).

For example, I bought two tickets for my parents and another time I bought return tickets for my wife, my daughter and myself. Finally only the miles I got are from the tickets I personally used (flight), not the relatives.

Is this a normal way to count?

Can you add family members to Miles and More?

There are no restrictions. Any adult Miles & More member can join forces with another adult member for Mileage Pooling. This means, for example, that friends can earn miles together.

Does each person need a frequent flyer number?

And despite the general term "frequent flyer," you don't need to be one. You can sign up online while booking your first flight. Then, enter your frequent flyer number when you buy tickets so that you'll earn reward miles or points. Maybe you'll earn enough rewards to redeem; maybe not.

Can my family use my frequent flyer number?

Family members can either provide their own frequent flyer account number or forfeit the miles. Kids who have their own seat can sign up for their own account, regardless of age. The only complication is if you're flying with an infant.

Can I use miles and more for someone else?

Can I also arrange for awards to be issued to friends and acquaintances? You can also request flight, upgrade or merchandise awards for family members, or friends and acquaintances from your Miles & More account. With flight and upgrade awards it is not necessary for you to travel with them.
