Transfer mileage to nominee account
Hi,
I am new to the KrisFlyer program. We just completed our first trip with SA. I have setup myself as nominee to my chilld KrisFlyer account.
Can I transfer my child mileage to my account?
Or is there any way to utilize my chlild mileage?
Regards,
MA

I live in Adelaide Australia and need to fly to the UK fairly often cos number 1 son has decided he likes the UK more than Oz.
So... I thought that SQ, being as they fly directly between Adelaide and London would be a good/safe airline to fly with. Did one long haul wiv em and probably wont bova again cos their FF programme/phone service is just too hard to deal wiv!!!
I have a redundant 200000 kris flyer points and was told by the phone b***tch at Krisflyers that even tho my son, who is also a KF member is my nominated person, that I cannot deem my points to him!!!!what the fre..kng point is there to this system, can someone who knows please explain the Kris flyer system.
I am currently strongly encouraging all my friends and family to stay/stick/go to Qantas FF as transfer of points is easy peazy and seamless, also I can actually understand what the QF staff on the phone are saying and they seem to have endless time for me.

You can redeem awards for your nominee using your own points but you can't transfer points to the nominee. It has been like that since day one.

No, I'm not an SQ apologist, but just wanted to point the facts out...

be aware members under 12 years old may not make redemption bookings online unless a redemption nominee is travelling with them on the SAME flight.
it must be made directly with KF membership services otherwise and there is no discount.

Its all quite clear on the website what a nominee is, a nominee is someone you can redeem a ticket FOR. you may use your miles to give that person a 'free' ticket. Your 20,000 miles is more than enough for a return trip booked online from Singapore to Bali or even a business class ticket one way from Bangkok to Denpasar via SIN for example. So perhaps you know someone who might benefit from a trip like that you could gift your points too by nominating them as a redemption nominee on your account,.

Thanks guys for all your reply's & advice!!
However I still feel that Krisflyer scheme is restictive and has VERY VERY poor customer service on the ground (as discussed elswhere on this site)
During my one and only SQ flight, Adelaide to London and back, I had no movies and was offered a $100 duty free gift voucher as compensation. 'puck off...sq'
Def intend sticking with Qantas from now on.
I have now lost the 20,000 points as I'm over the 3 year statute of limitations and never ever heard from SQ as to what I could do/where I could fly wiv em anyway (i.e. via their web site)
so boohoo for me!
there go my points, there also goes my custom with SQ...over and out...

Switching from one airline to another is like playing poker with siamese twins, IMO.
I think SQ still has a lot to improve in many customer service areas, but giving my money to QF is still something I will avoid whenever I can.

Thanks guys for your response. Let me clear my situation so that you can provide best advice.
After completing our latest trip we all have the following points:
- My self: 11400
- My wife: 11400
- Our two kids: 11400 (each)
Our kids less likely to fly in next 3 years. However, me & my wife we fly to NZ end of this year.
Based on all of your response above, looks like the milage not transferable. Is there any way to utilize our kids point as we both are nominee to their account?
Thanks for your advice.
Regards,
MA

The reason why SQ does not allow transfers of miles is because they do not want customers to pool their miles together, so that higher-level awards (e.g. business class tickets or long-haul redemptions) can be attained. In your case, you can use the miles in those four accounts on four separate tickets. 11,400 is enough for a roundtrip to points in Malaysia and Indonesia between July and September this year. If you are absolutely sure your kids won't be accruing more miles in the three years since mileage accrual, you shld spend the 11,400 (through nominee redemption) while you have a chance to, with the ongoing KF discounts. Or you could top up US$80 (for 2000 miles) on each account to redeem flights to Thailand, Cebu and Yangon at 12,500 miles apiece (my sense is this is not really worth it...)
