Marriott Bonvoy: How do I transfer points to another account?

Marriott Bonvoy is Canada’s best-known loyalty program for free hotel nights.

Over the course of a year, if you are a couple, or friends travelling together, you might want to marge Marriott Bonvoy points into the same account for many reasons:

• Merge Marriott Bonvoy points earned with Marriott Bonvoy credit cards
• Merge Marriott Bonvoy points earned with the transfer of Membership Rewards Points to Marriott Bonvoy
• Take advantage of the option: Stay for 5, pay for 4 when redeeming Marriott Bonvoy points.
• Benefit from the higher Elite status of the other Marriott Bonvoy member

There are a few rules to know about transferring Marriott Bonvoy points to another account:

• There is no charge to transfer Marriott Bonvoy points from one account to another.
• Each account must have been open for at least 30 days (with account activity such as earnings or point redemptions) or 90 days without activity.
• You can transfer up to 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per calendar year.
• A member can receive up to 500,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per calendar year.
• You must transfer a minimum of 1,000 points
• Maximum of 6 transfer transactions per calendar year, with a maximum of 2 transfer transactions per month. A transaction is defined as a member giving or receiving transferred points.

If a member reaches the maximum annual limit of 6 transactions before reaching the maximum points limit (100,000) to be given or received, he or she will not be able to make any transactions until the following calendar year.

If the member reaches the monthly transaction limit, he/she will be able to make transactions in the following calendar month, unless he/she has also reached the annual transaction or points limit. So calculate your transfers carefully!

To transfer your Marriott Bonvoy points from one account to another, you have two options:

• Do it online, directly on the Marriott Bonvoy website
• Or call Marriott Bonvoy Customer Service at +1-800-627-7468

In both cases, you will be asked:

• Your Marriott Bonvoy membership number
• Your contact information (questions may be asked about your recent account activity)
• The Marriott Bonvoy member number to which you wish to transfer your points

And that’s it! The points transfer between Marriott Bonvoy accounts is made immediately.
