Can husband and wife combine Marriott points?

Can I enroll in the Marriott Bonvoy® Program for my Spouse and Myself? Marriott Bonvoy® Membership is for individuals only, but you can transfer Points between Accounts.



Yes, a husband and wife (or any two Marriott Bonvoy members) can combine and transfer points between their accounts, though they remain separate individual accounts. In 2026, Marriott Bonvoy allows you to transfer a maximum of 100,000 points per calendar year to another member's account. Conversely, a member can receive up to 500,000 points per year from other accounts. To initiate a transfer, you can use the Marriott Point Transfer tool on the official website, and both accounts must have been open for at least 30 days with qualifying activity (or 90 days without). There is currently no fee for these transfers, making it an excellent way for couples to pool their points to book high-value "Award Stays" or to take advantage of the "Stay for 5, Pay for 4" benefit. While you cannot "merge" two accounts into one single joint account, this "Points Sharing" feature effectively allows families to manage their rewards collectively. It is important to note that Elite Night Credits and status levels cannot be transferred; only the spendable points can be moved from one spouse's profile to the other.

Look for any recent searches or bookings.

If a stay in a hotel for less than a month you can be locked out of your room if you do not pay the daily rate or if you break some rule of the hotel. On the other hand, it is an entirely different game if you stay for a month or more. In this case you become a tenant and the tenant/landlord law applies.
