Can I combine Avios points with my wife?

Share with a Household Account It's free to create, and means you can pool your Avios with up to six people who live with you, letting you make full use of the collective balance. Even children can join, so everyone in the family can collect Avios each time you travel.



Yes, you can easily combine your Avios points with your spouse or partner through the British Airways Executive Club Household Account system. By creating a Household Account, you can pool your Avios with up to seven other people who live at the same address (though in 2026, BA has become more flexible with the "same address" requirement for verified family members). Once the account is established, your individual balances remain visible, but they are added together to create a collective pool of points. When you or your wife goes to book a reward flight, the system automatically pulls Avios from both accounts in proportion to the balance of each member. For example, if you have 60,000 Avios and she has 40,000, a 10,000-Avios booking will take 6,000 from you and 4,000 from her. This is a highly efficient way to reach the required totals for expensive long-haul redemptions or "Companion Voucher" bookings. Note that while pooling is free, you can only change the members of your household account once every six months.
