  Is it possible to transfer Avios between 2 accounts ? Eg I have a main account, and once my son joins up I transfer his Avios to my account ?

  • the real harry1 says:

    are you talking BAEC or avios.com

    short answer – yes – via household a/c – means points get pooled

    long answer – a few things to think about, lots already archived here

  • Genghis says:

    BAEC household account

  OT:

  Source BBC:

  The UAE state airline Etihad Airways said it would suspend all flights to and from Doha from 02:45 local time on Tuesday.

  • John says:

    All flights between DOH and Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and UAE will be suspended.

    QR planes will soon be banned from their airspace.

      yep heard this on R4 just now

      let’s keep politics out of it – but Qatar quite simply funds terrorism, so I’m not surprised

      • Ro says:

        And we are one of the biggest arms dealers to Qatar.

        I don’t think “the owner of this airline funds terrorists” can plausibly be followed by “lets keep politics out of this”!

  Thanks, OH and I have signed up!

  OT – my HP ink cartridge Clubcard points have posted and I’ve got an email saying they are going to be delivered today, so it looks as though they are honouring the deal, mistake or otherwise.

• Anna says:

  Do you need to activate the Marriott account to get the avios or do they transfer automatically to BAEC?

  • Rob says:

    5 Jun5 June 09:08

    The implication is that it is automatic.

  HP ink points have posted – still on ‘ready to be despatched’, but items not due for collection until tomorrow so they may do it today.

  • sedgie says:

    My ink points have also posted, with the transaction values showing as £8132 and £4066! Hope they don’t try taking those amounts from my Tesco current a/c…

    • BP says:

      My transaction shows as £25300! £300 charged to my amex

        Ok, you win

      • Genghis says:

        5 Jun5 June 17:45

        All in one transaction? Didn’t fancy taking advantage of multiple money off codes?

• Neil says:

  Excellent!

  Signed up my wife any my son (there’s no date of birth required), who are both on my BAEC household account, and then realised it doesn’t seem to be needing addresses either, so opened myself another account with a different email address (nice benefit of running your own domain = unlimited email addresses!).

  Should be the easiest 3000 Avios I’ve ever earned!

  • RussellH says:

    Agree about the advantages of having your own domain.

    However, they would not let me have another membership crediting to BA, even using a totally unrealted e-mail address.

    Tried again with a German e-mail and a Miles+More a/c and it worked.

    Less valuable as we have spent most of our LH miles on a trip to Dresden tomorrow, but better than nothing if the miles turn up.

    The link above the image works. I forgot to add the 2nd one (!) and have changed the text over.

  What’s going on with Qatar ?

  • Rob says:

    5 Jun5 June 09:11

    Total cutting of diplomatic ties, Qatari nationals being thrown out of Middle East countries, airspace closed.

    • BP says:

      5 Jun5 June 09:20

      I almost went to work for Qatar National Bank – glad I didn’t now!

    • John says:

      Let’s hope their enemies don’t realise that – to Willie Walsh’s joy – Qatar is a huge IAG investor. Heathrow too, I think I remember reading (?)

        And Aspreys.

        Oh, and the big one Qatar owns is…….drum roll…..Harrods!!!

        I’ve forgotten what else Qatar owns round London but it’s lots
