HSBC Elite Points – transfer to another World Elite cardholder possible?

[jonnyfly]

Hi

My mum has some World Elite CC points but not enough for Avios flights. Is it possible for her to transfer her Elite Points to me so I can convert to Avios and book a flight? I also have the same kind of card. And we have a shared HSBC premier current account – but the credit cards appear entirely separate in our respective accounts.

Unlike Avios, I can’t see any member-to-member transfer options for Elite Points.

[Alternative, as a BAEC Gold, can I receive Avios points free from her (not Gold)? Or is the Gold free 27k transfer per year benefit only for sending, not receiving – I’ll ask over in the other forum – unless someone knows over here!]

Thanks

Not possible.
Add your mum to your baec household account then you can use her points/miles

Thanks – trying to avoid setting up a HH account due to the complications that brings.
