Officially? Most do not allow it. Some do it, but it is against the T&C's.

HA miles can be transferred to anyone who has the HA Visa card.
BA also has a family plan where folks living at the same address can combine miles.

There IS an existing thread on this subject & I'll try to find it.

Here's one relevant thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...nce-miles.html

Club Carlson is unusually flexible in allowing transfers of points. See that thread for more details.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this...I thought one can transfer for most programs (e.g., SkyMiles, AA or UA points). One just have to pay the transfer fees.

Half of FlyerTalk is here to learn how to avoid fees.
