BA Miles Transfers
« on: January 16, 2012, 10:08:59 AM »
Hi I have over 100K miles and so does my wife, i would like to put them all together into one account for convenience etc.. but understand that if it is a family account i can only book the tickets in the name of me or my wife not anyone else.
Can anyone let me know a good solution to this problem?

Look at the rules before you write:

"Collecting Avios is a great way to reach the destination of your dreams, but what if you don't have enough to get there?
With a Household Account, you can pool your Avios with other Executive Club Members as long as you live at the same address. Even your children can join the Club so your whole family can be collecting Avios every time you travel and you'll have more to spend on rewards when you want them."

So does anyone have a way that i can pool together my miles and my wife's without having to face this restriction?

What's the problem? You and your wife have the same address (Im assuming).

Not to get to personal,  but you and your wife don't live at the same address?

Perhaps he's referring to other household/family members.

You can make a redemption for any member of the household account, not just spouses.
