Generally you can transfer credit card points to frequent flyer points, but not the reverse unfortunately.

Question

Can I Use Swiss points and United points for a flight?

Community Answer

Generally you can’t transfer points from one program to another nor can you combine two different points together, even if both programs are in the same airline alliance.

Question

My husband and I are both mileage plus members. He passed away. Can I use his points?

Community Answer

Miles aren't transferable upon the death of the account holder, but the airline lets groups of family or friends pool their points, and if a deceased account holder was part of a points pool, the remaining members could redeem the miles.

If I purchase tickets with miles and the trip is canceled, are the miles refunded?

Yes, but it depends on the airline. For example, Norwegian will refund those miles, but United Airlines will not.

Question

Why don't agents notify us of the cost of a transfer before finalizing the transaction? I was shocked and disappointed to find out two days later.

Diego Gonzalez

Community Answer

Airline agents may not disclose transfer fees right away due to system limitations or policies that require transfer confirmation before revealing costs. Ask for all costs immediately to avoid surprises.
