Meari,
Whatever hot air your furnace blows into the basement will not be blowing into the rest of the house; so, whoever told you it would not affect your heating bill is thinking too much. You should be able to put installation under the floor; I don't know why you think that is a problem.
If you put area rugs down that would work too.

I thought about putting insulation into the basement ceiling but there are those cross bracings between the rafters, presumably to make the floors so they don't squeak. Any ideas? Someone told me that putting vents into the heat ducts of the basement thus heating the basement more would help and not increase my heating bill much since the thermostat is on the first floor. What do you think about that?
