Gifting of American Express Membership Reward Points

Didn't know that this was possible:

Membership Rewards - Request for Points Gift Form

or

Membership Rewards - Request for Points Gift Form

Quote:
Terms and Conditions

  1. A Points Gift is subject to these Terms and Conditions and the Membership Rewards Terms and Conditions. Words used in these Terms and Conditions have the same meaning as defined in the Membership Rewards Terms and Conditions.
  2. You, the basic Cardmember, may request a Points Gift of between 1,000 Points to a maximum of 50,000 Points in multiples of 1,000 Points once each calendar year. A Points Gift may only be made between your Membership Rewards Program Account and the Program Account of another American Express Cardmember held in Australia. You may not request a Points Gift for more than your current Points balance.
  3. We may decline a Points Gift request, at our discretion, including if your Card Account or any other account of yours held with us or any account held with us by the other Cardmember to whom you have requested we make a Points Gift, are not in good standing or are overdue.
  4. A Points Gift request will be administered solely by American Express within 5 business days, and cannot be reversed or cancelled once made.
  5. Points Gifting (a Points Gift request or a Points gift receipt) is not available on American Express Corporate Cards, Qantas American Express Cards, Qantas American Express Premium Cards, Qantas American Express Ultimate Cards and Card Accounts enrolled in Membership Rewards Spirit.
  6. A Tier Transfer Fee of $5 (including GST) per 1,000 Points applies for a Points Gift from a Membership Rewards Choices Program Account to Membership Rewards Ascent Program Account. This fee will be billed to your Primary Card Account.
  7. You agree not to request or accept any form of payment or item of value for a Points Gift.
  8. Please note that a Points Gift may have tax implications for you. You should speak with your accountant or tax adviser for further information.

I'm sure you could do something on The Coupon Connection on Flyertalk, since we don't have something similar here. You could accept an item of no value, of course.

Nice find. Did not know that it was possible in Australia and could be useful sometime in the future....

Of course, just like some customs declarations I have seen. "Sample - no commercial value".

Re: Gifting of American Express Membership Reward Points

I also believe that the Amex Rules allow transfers to any Qantas account with the same surname, which implicitly provides unlimited gifting to an alternate program
