Redemption Nominees

[tbd]

Hi All,

Apologies if this is a silly question but does anyone know if your redemption nominee has to be active at the time the flight is actually taken? I have booked a trip for the in-laws next May but have then had to remove the mother in law from list of nominees to book another trip for my own parents. Just wanted to be sure that the mother-in-laws booking would still be valid.
Thanks

Hmmm, 99% sure the nominee still needs to be active at time of flight.

I recall a previous thread discussing this http://www.australianfrequentflyer....emption-nominees-issue-please-help-44578.html.

Maybe you could send endeavour2217 a private message.

From the terms of the program I found this. Didn't help.

[h=2]D. REDEMPTION GROUP NOMINATIONS[/h]
1. A member can nominate up to a maximum of five individual persons as nominees at any one time to be in their Redemption Group. A child or infant nominee is treated like an adult. A corporation or other legal entity cannot be a Redemption Group Nominee.
2. Members can change or delete nominees in their Redemption Group for a flat fee, regardless of the number of names changed or deleted. Once a change or deletion has been carried out, further changes or deletions can only be carried out after six months. There is no fee for adding names to a Redemption Group.
3. New, additional or replacement nominees are eligible for free travel awards once their names are registered in a member's KrisFlyer account. This may take up to 14 days from the date of receipt of the nomination(s) by Singapore Airlines.
4. The nominees you have authorised to make bookings and collect redemption tickets for themselves and on your behalf must produce proof of identification. If they have been so authorised, Singapore Airlines will not inform the principal member nor be held liable for issuing redemption tickets to the authorised nominees.
5. For the collection of redemption tickets by third parties (including couriers and nominees who fall outside of the category of nominees accorded prior authorisation), a signed letter of authorisation from the principal member and a copy of both sides of the principal member's card will be required.
