Transfer Miles is an online program which allows SkyMiles members to transfer their miles from their SkyMiles account to any other SkyMiles member's account. Simply complete the Transfer Miles Recipient Information to begin a transaction. When prompted, enter the SkyMiles account number and name of the individual(s) to whom you wish to transfer your miles.

Your Transfer Miles order can be charged to a valid Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Diners Club, JCB, UATP or American Express credit card. Your credit card must have a billing address in the 50 U.S., Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands.

Standard transaction terms are documented on the Transfer Miles landing page. Specific member transaction terms may apply. Log in to see if you qualify for better transaction terms.

You may transfer your miles to a maximum of four people in a single transaction. However you can complete as many transactions as desired.

Any SkyMiles member may transfer up to 75,000 miles from his/her account in a calendar year. All Transfer Miles transactions are final and cannot be reversed or refunded.

You will need the recipient's SkyMiles number and name. Once you provide the recipient's information, the miles will post to the recipient's SkyMiles account within 24 hours.

When you enter the recipient's name and SkyMiles account number, the miles will be deposited into the member's account within 24 hours after you complete the transaction. If you supplied the recipient's e-mail address they will receive an e-mail notification of your generous transfer of miles. If you do not provide the recipient's e-mail address, you will need to advise them of your transfers.
