More recently, such services as translation bonus accruals to another person, the company s 7 did not provide. Therefore, now people are happy to use the opportunity to help those who need bonus units much more.

About Miles Transfer Service
“Miles transfer” is an opportunity to transfer the accumulated bonus points to another member of the Aeroflot Bonus loyalty program. Thus, you can collect and share bonuses with friends and family, or transfer them from one account to another to receive a gift, buy a ticket, and also pay for other services:
- Book hotel rooms and pay for accommodation.
- Rent a car for rent.
- Upgrade service class.
- Get a premium ticket.
- Donate to charity.
All operations are performed on the official aeroflot.ru website in your personal account. Therefore, in order to transfer points, you must be a member of the bonus program.
Conditions for transferring miles to another person
You can transfer Aeroflot Bonus miles to another member who has registered on the service for at least 3 months. In this case, the recipient must make at least one air flight in the past 24 months, paying for it in cash.
Despite the attractive opportunity, the service has a lot of nuances:
After earning, miles become non-qualifying, regardless of what they were credited to the sender. Therefore, it will not be possible to transfer units to upgrade the status to silver, gold or platinum at the expense of a gift.
The points earned can be spent on any privileges provided by the loyalty program - the organizers have not set any restrictions on this issue. The only point is that benefits are available, subject to availability, but these are standard conditions.
Important! It is not possible to cancel or reissue miles transfers, even if the points are transferred by mistake or to a close family member. Therefore, it is necessary to check that the recipient member number is entered correctly.
An important point of the conditions is the prohibition on using the service for the purpose of earning - it is prohibited to sell them. A person can give or donate miles only free of charge. It is not a problem for the organizer to identify cases of resale - specialists regularly monitor thematic groups in social networks, virtual message boards. If the fact of commercial use is discovered, then both participants can be blocked or deducted miles, remove all statuses, and without financial compensation. And it does not matter how much the offender spends on air travel and how many bonuses have been accumulated. Such measures were introduced to strictly adhere to the established procedure.
Instructions for transferring Aeroflot Bonus miles
Transferring miles from one passenger to another is easy. The sender must go to the Aeroflot Bonus program website and go through authorization by entering a username and password. Further actions are as follows:
Units will be debited instantly, the crediting period is also only a few minutes, since the operation is carried out online.
Currently, this is the only way to transfer miles from one member's account to another without violating the established service rules. There are no SMS or USSD commands, the operation is also not carried out by calling the call center.
The transfer fee
To transfer miles, you need to pay a commission. This can be done in two ways: with money, by depositing 600 rubles, or with bonus miles, by paying 20% \u200b\u200bin excess of the transaction amount. Considering the conversion of points into rubles (1 \u003d 0.3), the second option is more preferable.
At the same time, paying with miles is a privilege with restrictions, it is not available to users with a basic status. Participants of the "Silver" level will be able to deposit them for operations up to 10 thousand miles, "Gold" - up to 20 thousand, "Platinum" - up to 30 thousand. The commission for subsequent items will have to be paid in cash.
The organizer of the loyalty program reserves the right to revise the terms and conditions regarding the amount of commission fees. Therefore, even before carrying out the operation, it is recommended to go to the news page and clarify whether the rules have been preserved.
Payment can only be made in rubles, currency is not accepted. The service provides a standard method - transfer from a bank card. Miles will be deducted from the sender's balance; points cannot be transferred at the recipient's expense.
What to do if miles are not transferred
- Clear phone memory.
- Reboot the device.
- Check the Spam or Blacklist folder.
- Contact technical support. This option is suitable even if the codes for authorization in your personal account come, but not for the transfer of points.
This problem is of a technical nature and is usually quickly resolved. There may be others:
- Insufficient miles on account. According to the conditions, the amount of the shipment must be round and a multiple of 500 units. Also, the balance of bonuses may decrease due to the fact that the system has canceled them. Remember that the points are valid for 2 years, after which they expire and you will no longer be able to give them.
- Blocking a user for breaking the rules. It is almost impossible to correct the situation, only at the discretion of the organizers.
- Non-compliance of one of the participants with the conditions of the loyalty program.
- Exceeding the transaction limit. It is impossible to translate more than indicated by the rules at one time or a year. There are no exceptions.
Advantages and disadvantages of the option
If we analyze the conditions in terms of commissions, it can be noted that the service is most of all designed for status, active customers who regularly fly or use other services, for example, rent a car or rent rooms in hotels. It is for this category of passengers that the most profitable terms - Possibility to pay commission with miles and higher limits. It is not profitable to transfer a small amount, the operation will cost 600 rubles for a participant with a basic status.
As a conclusion: the ability to transfer or give bonuses is certainly a useful and convenient function, but a lot of restrictions significantly reduce the list of benefits. Today it is only a way to keep the bonuses accumulated by one previously active member who does not intend to use the services in the future, using a bank card with miles accrual. The function will also allow you to add the missing number of miles to purchase a gift in the store, book a hotel, take a flight or receive other benefits of the loyalty program.
Today many companies pay great attention to increasing the level of customer loyalty. Various systems of user incentives are being introduced by large financial institutions and retail chains. Organizations providing transport services, for example, air transportation, were not an exception. One of the key players in this area is Aeroflot, which in 2006 presented the Aeroflot Bonus program and a unique currency - miles.

It is done. Aeroflot allowed members of its bonus program to transfer bonus miles each other. Now, if you don't have enough miles, you can always borrow them from another member. Let's take a closer look at how it works.
How do I transfer miles?
A section "Spend miles" - "Transfer miles" has appeared in your personal account. Here you need to indicate the number of the participant, after which his name and the first letter of the last name will be displayed. From the drop-down list, you can select the number of miles to be transferred - from 500 to 5000 with a step of 500 miles (ie 500, 1000, 1500,…, 4500, 5000). Next, you need to choose how you want to pay for the transfer: with miles or money.
That is, the transfer is paid? How much is?
There are two payment options. Either in miles (the commission will be 20% of the transfer amount), or in money: in this case, it will be 600 rubles. Since the monetary "price" of a mile when exchanged for goods is no more than 30 kopecks, it is more profitable to pay with miles. True, there is a trick here: with payment in miles, a silver participant can transfer a maximum of 10 thousand miles a year, a gold one - 20 thousand, a platinum one - 30 thousand. The rest is for money.
Oh, can I legally sell miles now?
Well this is. As before, it is not allowed to use your miles for commercial purposes including the sale / resale of miles to third parties. Aeroflot reserves the right to cancel earned miles, block a member's account for any period of time, cancel the account, cancel the elite tier of both the program member and the recipient, without reimbursement of any costs and amounts. And there are many known cases of "fuse" of sellers of miles. For example, he flew one of these on platinum, then decided to sell the gold card received at the same time for 40 thousand rubles - and as a result, no miles, no status, nothing.
How does Aeroflot know that I have sold miles?
There are many ways. For example, specially trained people monitor private classifieds sites. It is known about "test purchases". Finally, it can be found out if something goes wrong for a passenger flying for your miles, he begins to demand compensation and accidentally mentions that he paid someone. It is relatively safe to send close friends and relatives for miles. But would you seriously charge your mom for a mile ticket to the sea?
Are there any restrictions on the transfer of miles?
Yes, and there are many of them. This is done so that it would be impossible to accumulate the miles accumulated on the bottom of the barrel in one account. The owner of miles can transfer no more than 50 thousand miles per year. The recipient can also receive no more than 50 thousand miles from one or several other people's accounts, but for no more than 10 transactions during the year. At the same time, in order to transfer miles, you need to have at least 3 months of experience in the program (this was done to combat fraud - there is a known way to register a new account with the victim's full name and substitute its number in the victim's PNR). You also need to fly at least once for money within the last two years, that is, inactive miles cannot be withdrawn from your account by transfers.
Oh, 50 thousand! Can you, then, collect yourself for gold?
No you can not. The miles received by the transfer are not qualifying, even if you originally earned them for the flight, and did not receive them from the bank. So you can't cheat the status, there is such an opportunity. And thank God: Aeroflot already has too many status holders, there is no need to give out statuses to everyone.
Bonus system from russian airlines Aeroflot allows you to earn miles for each scheduled flight of the company and its partners. Passengers often have questions about the accumulation and use of bonuses. Here are the most popular ones.
How can I transfer miles to another passenger?
It is impossible to transfer the accumulated miles or combine them to obtain the necessary Award, but the transfer of the Awards themselves is allowed under the terms of the program.
A third party, which does not have to be registered in the loyalty system, can transfer the Award to an award ticket or bonus increase in the service class, but no more than 10 times a year. This condition applies to standard program participants. Members of the Elite Club are not subject to restrictions on the number of broadcasts.
Transfers of Rewards to Program Participants aged 12-18 are subject to written permission from a parent or guardian. And from Aeroflot Junior Bonus members, the transfer of Awards is not provided.
How do I find my membership number?
You can find out the number in two ways:
Can a card be restored?
If the Aeroflot Bonus loyalty program member's card is out of order (the front side is not readable, there is damage to the magnetic strip), it was lost or did not reach its owner at all during the first departure, you can order a duplicate. A request for its production is sent to email airlines or through the feedback form on the company's website. In the application, you must indicate the delivery address of the duplicate (this can be either the airline's office or a specific mailing address) and the reason for ordering it.
When do miles expire?
If within 2 calendar years the Aeroflot Bonus program member has not registered a single flight on his account regular flights company or its partners, the miles that he did not manage to use will expire. Miles for purchasing goods and receiving services from program partners are not taken into account.
