Yours, Mine and Ours

Points and miles usually belong to individual accounts—but there are important exceptions.

Some loyalty programs let families or households pool rewards. Others allow free sharing between members. And a few offer special pricing advantages that can help families stretch points further when booking travel for children.

The guide also highlights an important strategic point: just because points can be combined doesn’t mean they should be.

Sometimes pooling solves a specific problem, such as completing an award or consolidating fragmented balances. Other times, leaving points where they are preserves more flexibility.

This guide covers:

  • Programs that allow points or miles pooling
  • Programs that allow sharing without a family relationship
  • Household- and family-specific pooling rules
  • Programs with child award discounts
  • A quick-reference chart showing who can share or pool
  • Key questions to ask before moving rewards
