No. Generally ff points/avios/miles cannot be moved from 1 ffp to another.
The web site
https://www.points.com/how-it-works/exchange-points/ has some (poor value) opportunities.
SQ & VA are a notable exception albeit at a loss in value (1:1.35).
Even transferring points/avios/miles from I person to another (in the same ffp) is not that common. Some ffp's allow with a fee, which can make the transfer very poor value/no value. Family pooling is also not the norm with ffp's but some have that good feature.
If you look in the QR forum there does seem to be ongoing problem with dealing with the ffp/getting awards/upgrades with points. QR has hard expiration 3 to 3.5 years after earning (on June 30 & Dec. 31); may be extended or resurrected for a fee. No expiration for Platinum members.
Often said the ME3 are good in the air but on the ground its buyer beware.
AA now does not have a 4 flight minimum. QF & BA(IB) have a 4[2] flight minimum.
Leeds-AMS(or other)-London would get 2 flights
What do you expect status will do for you?
