Do I get miles for buying ticket for someone else?

I have bought flights for me and girlfriend; and out my FC number in both boxes. Do I get the miles and TP for both people, or just my own??

Just your own. Name on ticket has to match number on FC account

Oh no! Hmmm... so what should I do? Open a FC account in her name, put her number in for her flight.. and then can I amalgamate the points in the future?

Don't think you will be able to amalgamate the points in the future, but you will be able to buy tickets on a 50-50 or 75-25 split from both accounts.

If you sign her up using the VS referal program after she takes her flight,as long as your in the right fare bracket,you will get some miles as a bonus.

As Dave says, you should refer her using Miles More Friends and hopefully get bonus miles if her ticket is in the right fare class - then get her FC number in the booking. Unfortunately, you won't be able to amalgamate the two accounts, but (like Nick says) you'll be able to split a reward ticket from both accounts in those %ages (also mentioned here)
