How to Transfer Marriott Bonvoy Points to Another Person

Here is a step by step guide on how to transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to another person.

Log in to your Marriott Bonvoy account.

Click on “About Marriott Bonvoy” on the top right.

Click on “How to Use Points/Awards”

Then click on “Manage Points”

Scroll down the page a little and you will see three options.

Click on “Transfer Points Share your points with other Marriott Bonvoy members” (the 3rd option on the right side)

You will be taken to the Points Transfer form. All you need to do is to enter your recipient’s details (first name, last name and recipient Marriott Bonvoy number) and the amount of points to transfer.

You will see a confirmation that your points were sent.

The screen says to wait up to 24 hours for your transfer to process, but I checked my account and the points were in my account in less than 10 minutes.
