Query about transferring points

[Speckymagee]

I am trying to book on Qantas for 11 months time. I am only Silver Status but have 1 million points. Because of my low status there afre few options. However my sister is a Platinum member and can book almost anything for herself, her clients etc. Is there a way to transfer her my points and get her to book something? I guess the answer is "no" but need to eliminate this option! Thanks

If your sister, go for it and ask her book. I think there is a 500K points limit on transfer though.

It is 600K total per "12 month Period" with a minimum of 5K per transfer.

Can do a family transfer and have her book for you, but 600,000 point limit in 12 months.

you could transfer 600,000 to her now and if that is not enough to cover the booking, she could book using any of her own points (if she can spare) for any shortfall and then you owe her those points in 12 months in another family transfer

Wow! Thanks guys. Appreciate that. Will transfer those points over - not that she needs them LOL!

We do this all the time - As a WP I'm the booking agent for most of my family and they just transfer the points as and when they can to fit around the 600,000 transfer limit. BTW, we haven't done it for a couple of years, but I think that was600,000 points per family member per year, so my daughter could tx 600,000 and my son could also tx 600,000 in the same year. I might have misremembered, but I think that's how it worked.
