Family Pooling Question

[breakNegg]

A member of our family over 18 has a small amount of points sitting idly in their Velocity account that they will never use. I am currently pooling with my wife so I cannot access the other family members idle points.

The question is, if I was to unpool my wife and then pool with the other member to transfer the points and then re pool with my wife is there any adverse problem I would encounter doing this???/

Thanks for any advice

cheers in advance.

Do they live with you? If yes, you are more than entitled to add them to family pooling. When our daughters gather a small amount of points, say 2000 - I throw 5000 over to them (minimum transfer), then bounce the 7000 straight back.

Works instantly.

PS - you don't have to suspend pooling with your wife. We have six family members currently in family pooling.

Remember, a member cannot receive pooled Status Credits from more than one adult, but if our daughters fly without us, I juggle the membership pooling to ensure husband gets the points and SC legally.

Cheers

Yes my father lives at the same address.
What I have done for the moment is unpool my wife and pool my father. I just could not see any other way, except to unpool.
Can anyone suggest any other way given the details I have supplied above.

Oh dear i see now, I should have flinged the points over 50000 and then flinged them back DOH!!!!!!

I ll have to wait until what I have done is processed now and begin again LOL

I don't think points transfer require family pooling. At least not that I could see in the conditions.

When logged in to account, second last option on the left hand menu - points transfer - family.

yeah I did not think it out correctly, will have to wait 24 hours or until Velocity site updates to show my father in the pool, then switch back to wife, Im a dumbass. I got the email to say he was pooled but it has not shown on the account yet so there is nothing I can do for the moment.

Basically I have to wait until midnight for the process to click over to fix my mistake.

[FONT=&quot]4.12 When a Contributing Account is added to a Family Pool, the change will be effective from 00:01 (AEST) on the date the Family Pool is established. All of a Contributing Account’s Points or Points and Status Credits will be pooled to the Beneficiary Account from this date.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]14.13 When a Contributing Accounts is removed from a Family Pool, the change will be effective from 23:59 (AEST) on the date the change is made. The Contributing Account’s Points or Points and Status Credits will no longer be pooled to the Beneficiary Account from this date.[/FONT]

I took about 6 steps instead of a simple 2 by flinging the points. A good lesson learnt though I spose.
