How to Transfer Frequent Flyer Points

If you are a frequent flier and have amassed a large amount of miles you will not likely use, consider gifting some of your extra miles to friends and family members. You can do this through a simple online transfer process on the airline website where you have your mileage account. Take note that sometimes it does cost money to transfer miles. Check with your airline to get the current rate per mile transfer.
