My partner and I have family pooling set up so that my points and stat creds are automatically transferred to him. We now want to change this so that his points (but not SCs) will in future be gifted to me.

I assumed we could do this on line but but on the family pooling page can't see how to do this. Or do we just cancel the current arrangements and create a new one?

Thanks in advance.

You can't split the points and SC, they either both go to you or neither
 
And I discovered that that I cannot add my 86yo mum on. Apparently a 'family' is defined as two adults and kids. We are a same sex couple, have no kids and my father recently died. We would like mum to come and visit regularly and for myself to go and stay with her for extended periods. Seems like a good definition of family to me.
 
That's my understanding too.

Also need to live at the same address.
