Found this to be a very informative article, surprised that @Dan never made such a post, definitely worthwhile spending some time to put out a post that way all  DD/DDF members can make use out of their miles as well as well as their kid's miles and like mentioned over there ba and JetBlue one can pool them (then again even when pooling there's the ups and then the Downs of doing that,like with ba limited to who you can book a ticket for if you have a household account.)

People need info spoon feed. 

IMHO a basic article detailing a few FF options would be helpful to most readers, such as crediting to MS or A3.

I'm guessing there are many people flying to Israel with their family and have no idea they can get *gold. They don't need miles or PQD, they just want some free extra luggage....
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I do create FF accounts for my kids who have flown quite a few times, however I end up having a whole host of accounts that I have to keep in mind to make sure to have activity so they won't expire. I was glad when United switched to a no expiration policy because my kids' last activity with them was Passover 2018 and the miles were just about going to expire next month.
