Need to transfer to KrisFlyer (to 2 different accounts

[dajop]

Yes you can for QFF...but the OP was asking about Singapore Airlines and it's KrisFlyer Program were you cannot.

This was my reaction initially, but reading further into the post it seems that instead of intraprogram transfers (once the points are there), the altitude system allows points to be transferred to accounts without the FF account name matching the altitude account name.

I'm not sure that it does. On my test runs it certainly has not given me an opportunity to change my name from anything other than the name my account is in.

It may for you. But not for me:

ie This is what appears on screen when I attempt to transfer points:

This is the final page within the Frequent Flyer transfer process. Please provide your Frequent Flyer number and check your details carefully before submitting this form.
The First Name, Surname and Frequent Flyer Number must match exactly with the Airline database. If these details are not exactly the same, your Frequent Flyer Transfer request will be rejected.
Successful Frequent Flyer transfers are completed in 3 business days.

As you can see above the only thing I can insert is the FF Account Number which was the only blank, and only alterable field.. My First Name and Surname were automatically inserted and I cannot alter them.

Therefore as per the screen fine print you can only transfer in your name.

Didn't say it worked for me! I always thought it was prohibited, but ArseneV said it works (at least for QF points), by just ignoring the name and changing the FF number. Either ArseneV is talking out of his/her a#s (sorry couldn't resist) or is onto something. If it truly does work, then I guess one should be extra careful to enter a FF number correctly, in case it is accidentally sent to the wrong account.

Ok, let me clear up my post. Sorry for the confusion.

In our family, we share a Altitude Platinum card between a few of us (individual cards for each person obviously).

Everytime I make decent purchases, every few months etc I will redeem some of the Altitude points I have personally earnt into Qantas points.

The Altitude accounts primary holder is not me (family name is the same of course).
I didn't mean we transfer Qantas points constantly between our family's Qantas frequent flyer accounts, so sorry for the confusion again.

When it comes to that page with the Name, Sirname, email address and FF# box etc I just put my frequent flyer number in. Everytime I have done it, the points go in. I even did it today as I was writing the last message. I have done it five times this year. I have also transferred some of the points i've earnt into my Velocity account because of that extra 20% bonus offer thingy, so that would make it 6 times.

I have never done it with KF.

Just try it!
And as I said, try the secondary account holder first.

I am now worried however, that some little fairy from Westpac Altitude is watching and will stop this practice. S&*t!

QFF were doing some crosschecking, but perhaps they only compare the surname with the account number.

I am hoping this is the case.

With regard to the 50% points for one way, I'm allready counting on that.

There will only be 1 person traveling. Both Frequent Flyer accounts fall short of the one way point requirement of (40,000 - 15% = 34,000) each to cover two one way trips to Tokyo from Brisbane (27,000 and 30,400)

Thank you everyone here for your comments (and hanging in there when maybe I did not explain it too well in the first instance).

I recently attempted to transfer my amex points to my partner's krisflyer account - apparetnly it is not possible.

Instead, I registered my partner through my krisflyer as a nominated family member, transfered all the amex points to my krisflyer and booker her a ticket!
