Question

Can you combine air miles? Your parents and your into one ticket?

I know that some companies give 10,000 airmiles to sign up. Im wondering if me and my mom sign up seperately, we would both get 20,000 in total.

im going to japan next summer which is approx 15,000 air miles.

can we combine them somehow and use that?

also, if my trip is worth 15,000 airmiles, but I only have lets say 8000, or 10 000 airmiles, can i use that towards my trip so it costs less?

so if its $25 per 1000 airmiles, and my trip is 15,000 it would only cost me like $325?

but in real money my trip would cost $1200.

so its better to BUY airmiles?

Answer 1

No, you can not combine them, the airlines let you transfer miles from an other person to your account but it is quite expensive, you can also buy miles from the airlines, I believe that costs $25.00 for 1000 miles

Answer 2

Usually you cannot combine miles. Here's another idea that might work. You can sign up with two airlines that are giving 10,000 for signing up. Then you go to points.com and transfer your own miles between the two frequent flyer programs.

Answer 3

That depends on the company. Most will probably let you transfer miles between family memebers, but not combine them.

When you sign up, you and your mom will get 10,000 miles each. Not 20,000 total for each.

Answer 4

Certain airlines you are able to trade, share and combine miles. Check with whatever carrier you are flying on.

Answer 5

I work for bank of america and our cards you cannot combine the miles. But it could be different for other companies.

Answer 6

No, you cannot. However some airlines allow you to transfer into another account for a fee.

Answer 7

Not with most airlines or credit cards. none of mine anyway. I have air tran delta, american and southwest.
