3BM is meant for 1 bank.

Multiple banks would be an AOR.

That depends what you plan on doing with the points.

I called them and now know that: 1) the flight need not be booked with the card to get the free bag. The skyMiles number associated with the Delta Credit Card need only be on the ticket, or even not and just present the credit card at check in. 2) the companions who also get free checked bags don't need to be on same reservation, merely have the same itinerary as the card holder. So in my case, since my friend is on my flight, he can get the free bag. I will just need to show my delta card when he checks his bag. It is however, apparently, impossible to merge reservation numbers.

Thanks for getting back to us.
Please get back again after the flight, to report if everything went as smoothly as the phone rep said it would.

Everything went smoothly and exactly as I was told. My friend's ticket wasn't booked by me and wasn't connected to me any way, other than us checking in at the same time - I just had to show them my Delta card. My free bag was automatic, I didn't have to show the card.

Why would anyone think it's an acronym?

If you asked a question & it wasn't answered after awhile you would "bump" that post. Instead of asking it again.
