Can I share my Marriott points with someone else?

You can transfer your Marriott Bonvoy® Points to another Member's Account through the Points Transfer tool online. Please Note: If you are not already logged into your Marriott Bonvoy® Account, you will be directed to the Login Page prior to being presented with the Online Transfer Tool.



Yes, you can share or transfer your Marriott Bonvoy points with another member, provided both accounts are in good standing and meet specific age requirements. To be eligible, both the sender's and recipient's accounts must have been open for at least 30 days with qualifying activity (like a stay) or 90 days without activity. Marriott allows you to transfer up to 100,000 points per calendar year to other members and receive up to 500,000 points per calendar year from others. The transfer process is free and can be completed easily through the Marriott Bonvoy website's "Point Transfer" tool. Transfers must be made in increments of 1,000 points. This feature is particularly useful for families or couples who want to "pool" their points to reach a specific redemption threshold for a luxury stay or a long-duration award booking (like the "Stay for 5, Pay for 4" benefit). Note that you cannot transfer Elite Night Credits or Lifetime status progress; only the redeemable points themselves can be shared. The transferred points typically appear in the recipient's account within 24 hours.
