I think it makes sense for my wife and I to both apply for cards which we can transfer points; amex and chase sapphire. Since she could then transfer these points into my specific rewards account, airlines or hotel to build up and Max the points. Right?
However, is it possible for my wife to transfer points into my accounts for specific reward cards for airlines and hotels? If she applied for delta card or Hilton card etc, could she transfer the sign up bonus she received into my Hilton / delta accoutn? If yes, which programs can we do this and which programs we could not do this.
Any issues I should be aware of with this plan?
Thanks in advance for the advice/help.
HHonor does not allow transfer. Delta charges you (a lot) to do a transfer unless when it runs a bonus offer. In general all airlines charge a hefty fee to transfer miles between accounts. Certain hotel programs allow transfer points between spousal accounts with very specific restrictions.
There are many different airlines and hotel programs each has its own rules - all can be found in the program's own website.
You should go to the website of the program you are interested in, and read up the program rules - you will find the answers on most of your questions. It is better to read them up yourself than just rely on the posts which can give inaccurate info.
