Gold benefit family account

Hi there, hoping someone can clear this up for me. If i link my wife and son to my account, is it only the miles AFTER i have linked them that i will have access to or can i have access to their previous balance to use how i choose?
Thanks

Basically all that happens with a household account is when any FC accounts get credited miles that are linked to you - you get them.

So in answer to your question, it's only the miles after. And what's more annoying on the new system if you are making a booking for everyone on your FC account with miles you have to either use all your miles or split it into multiple bookings to take miles from individual FC accounts.

Thanks Jayden. So a bit of a gimmick rather than a benefit? I suppose that if one member flys regularly and the rest of the family once a year for holidays it maybe handy to have the miles for upgrades etc.
