Hi, I'm a BA Exec Club member and have a friend who is soon to book with BA flight to OZ. They don't collect Avios but they have said I can have the points. Is it possible to do this? If so how do I go about it? Any heads up would be great. Many thanks Mart1
Nope, it isn't possible. They'll need to collect them to an Avios account (BA or Avios.com) of their own, or of another OneWorld frequent flyer program However, once those are collected, they should be able to book a flight for you, provided there are enough You could also look at Household Accounts, but those have minuses as well as pluses Otherwise, if you have a small business, sign up for the BA OnBusiness program. Credit their flights to that (normally needs doing afterwards as it's very hard to add an OB number to an existing booking). You earn (a handful) of OB points as well as Avios, so it's double-dipping
Gagravarr has covered it, but yes I would just get them to collect the Avios in their own account (setting one up take 60 seconds) and then if they really aren't interested in them, maybe they could give you the login details so you can use the Avios without having to bother them about it.
How did you get on with this in the end? Did you find a way to transfer the points?? Happened to me in the past as well and I never found it possible to transfer the points. Very annoying!
