Yes, and I’ve done this before with spouse. But friend has been waiting over two months for a point transfer and this is dissuading me from going that route.

Does anyone know if a point transfer request sucks points out of originating account at the same time that they land in recipient account or if it’s a gap of time? My Amex transfer to ANA, for example, sucked points out of Amex immediately but they didn’t hit ANA for the expected few days.
