What should a member do if they want to pool their non-qualifying points with friends?

Joining a group type membership allows members to pool their non-qualifying points effectively. This approach is designed specifically for social aspects of loyalty programs, enabling members to collaborate with friends and enhance their experience. By being part of a group, members can combine their points, which is beneficial for reaching thresholds for rewards or experiences that might not be possible individually.

This method promotes community within the loyalty program, encouraging members to engage with one another. It’s a strategic choice that aligns with many loyalty programs' goals of fostering mutual support and participation among members.

The other options do not facilitate the pooling of points in the same way. Creating individual accounts for each friend would create unnecessary complexity and is not a method used for pooling points. Transferring points directly is often limited to qualifying points or may not be allowed at all, as many loyalty programs impose restrictions on transfers to prevent misuse. Redeeming points for group activities does not address the specific scenario of pooling non-qualifying points; instead, it implies using points rather than combining them.
