Transfer Skywards points?
I have checked some older postings but wondered if anything has changed. Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer Skywards points to any other programme - whether hotel or anything else?

Thank you. I just joined Voyager bit cannot find the place online for transferring miles. If you are able to help it would be great, thanks.

I dont think you can do anything online. the best thing to do is give them a call and speak to a consultant. from what I know... They will ask you to post/fax your boarding passess and they will then sort out the rest from there

Hold on
the Op asked if he could transfer Ek miles to voyager
As far as I am aware this is not possible
he has already got the miles in his ek account I understand
so he cannot now ask for them in another program!!!
so the answer is NO.

You can't transfer EK to Hilton ...
AFAIK, the only way to get something useful out of it if you are taking a very small number of EK flights and will never go near EK again, is to open a Voyager account, credit the flights to Voyager and then (assuming you have 10k) transfer them to Hilton. From Hilton, you can - if you don't want a hotel - transfer them to an airline programme you do want.
Yes, its a massive devaluation, but 2k in, say, BA is more use to me than 10k in Skywards.

lets say you have both a skywards acount and a voyager acount but you want your ek flights to be credited to your voyaer acount.is that possible or would you have to cancel your skywards acount in order to do it
