Can I buy Marriott points for someone else?

Yes, you can purchase Marriott Bonvoy? Points online as a gift in increments of 1,000 Points. You can purchase up to 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy? Points to be gifted to another Member's Marriott Bonvoy? Account.



Yes, you can purchase Marriott Bonvoy points as a gift for another member, which is a popular way to help a friend or family member reach a redemption goal. In 2026, you can buy or receive a combined maximum of 150,000 points per calendar year through the official "Gift Points" storefront. During special promotions, such as the one running through March 2026, you may even earn a 40% bonus on these purchases. To send a gift, you will need the recipient's full name and their Marriott Bonvoy account number. The points typically post to the recipient's account within 72 hours. It is important to remember that these transactions are non-refundable, and the recipient must have been a member for at least 30 days to receive gifted points. This is a "pro-traveler" strategy for consolidating points within a family for a large resort stay, especially when a bonus promotion is active, effectively lowering the "cost per night" for the eventual award stay.
