After adding another people as 2nd card holder, how long do we need to wait for?
I mean wait for how many days before transferring Amex MR to his ANA account?
Thanks!

"This action will not be completed because of an attempt to sell or otherwise transfer Membership Reward Points to someone else which is not permitted". 

My good friend tried to transfer the next day after adding 2nd user and got above error.

His account has been frozen for a few weeks.

Today he asked to borrow my MR.

We thought we need to wait for a long time to transfer MR after adding 2nd user, needn't we?

to do the transfer online, you have to wait 24 hours for new AU to show up online.

to do the transfer online, you have to wait 24 hours for new AU to show up online.
Once you add the AU, you can just live-chat (or call) them to link the AU's FF program.
They see it added right away and can link, even though it takes time for you.

The post I quoted is you saying that it takes 24 hours for AU to show up online. That's true, but not really helpful since nobody wants to wait that long..

I'm adding that the 24h doesn't matter, since you can chat / call right away (after AU is added by you) and they can link it for you instantly (even though you still can't see it online).

And again, you're missing my point.

Call / chat to link right away (since it doesn't show up online), then you can transfer online right after.

All sitting in front of computer (in under 5 minutes):
Step 1: Add AU online.
Step 2: Chat to add AU's FF# program.
Step 3: Transfer points.

ANA.
Does that matter for the error message?
