American Express Membership Rewards - Transfer of miles to Contintal One Pass
I have one AMEX card but 4 Continental One Pass acounts. Several questions:
1.When I transfer miles from AMEX, do I have to transfer all of them into MY Continental acount, or can I spread them into the other (all my immediate family) accounts?
2.If I can only put them into my account, do I buy additional tickets for family members from this account?
3. Is it possible to combine miles from my account and my wife's account to buy a ticket?
Thanks in advance

These two questions have nothing to do with Amex, and everything to do with CO. The answers are yes and no.

1. You can spread them.
In principle you can only transfer points to the account of a cardholder, but it could be a supplementary cardholder. In practice you will probably succeed in transferring to others in your family provided you setup the account links and make the transfers on the website rather than by telephone.
Login to your Membership Rewards account on the American Express website and "link" each OnePass account, beginning with your own. Normally these links are confirmed instantly, and normally transfers to CO are completed instantly.
However, it may be easier to transfer all the points to your own OnePass account and use it to obtain all the tickets. There's no benefit to transferring points to each passenger's OnePass account unless they each have a mileage balance which is otherwise too small to redeem.
