So I've got a group of 4 mates coming over from the UK. They can all get free FF membership and I'm wondering if I could transfer all their points over to mine?
Frequent Flyer points from friends

I realise that, I'm not trying to steal their points ;) lol Perhaps should have worded it can they transfer their points over to mine.
They don't fly very often and when they do they wouldn't accumulate many/any frequent flyer points anyway so are happy to give them to me
Hi,
You didn't mention which airline the points are with, as each airline's frequent flyer program has different terms and conditions.
Assuming it is Qantas - then short answer is NO, as QF only allows points transfer for within extended family members.https://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/program/usingPoints/fam…
'Eligible Family Member' of a Member means any person the Member can demonstrate, to the reasonable satisfaction of Qantas, as being related to that Member in any of the ways described below:
Husband/Wife
Parent/Step-parent
Domestic Partner/De Facto
Child, including foster & step-child
Brother/Sister
Half Brother/Sister
Grandparent
Grandchild
Son/Daughter-in-law
Brother/Sister-in-law
Father/Mother-in-law
Uncle/Aunt
Nephew/Niece
First cousinIf they meet the above - then OK, if not - then you could still get away with it (as its an automated system).
BUT risk cancellation and closure of the points and all frequent flyer accounts - if they find out and you cannot provide proof.I am sure you friends can be your 'first cousins'!
Thanks Bobcat - one of them used to have the same surname as me until she got married so I'm guessing she'd be fairly safe. I'm thinking 4 peoples points on the same flight might be dodgy though (might spend all my points 1st just in case lol). They are flying with emirates. I knew there must be a way because people sell thier points but just wasn't sure how they go about it.

first result on google.
It would have been quicker for you to google it, than to post a forum topic
Yeah, I came across the family transfers - was wondering how people transferred between non family though.
May I ask why you want their points? Do they not need or want them ?
Answer: No. You can not do this. They can do it but you cannot do it without them approving it.
