Marriott Bonvoy Joint Account: Combining Accounts and Transferring Points

Combining Marriott Bonvoy accounts can be a great way to simplify your rewards management, and it's actually a relatively straightforward process. According to Marriott Bonvoy's policies, you can combine up to 10 accounts.

To start the process, you'll need to have both accounts linked to the same email address and password. This will allow you to access both accounts through the Marriott Bonvoy website or mobile app.

Once you've linked your accounts, you can transfer points between them. The transfer process is instant, and you can transfer up to 100,000 points at a time.

Transferring points between accounts can be a game-changer for couples or groups traveling together.

You can transfer points to consolidate them into one account, making it easier to book award stays and earn elite benefits. This is especially useful if one member of your group has Marriott Bonvoy status, as they'll receive perks like welcome gifts, free breakfast, or room upgrades.

Transferring points can also prevent them from expiring, and it's a great way to gift points to a fellow traveler.

Transferring points can be a game-changer for your travel plans. You can consolidate points into one account to be closer to an award stay, especially if you have a large gap in points.

Having Marriott Bonvoy status can also make a big difference. If one member of your group has status, you should make the reservation from that account to receive elite benefits, which could include a welcome gift, free breakfast, or room upgrades.

Transferring points can also help prevent expiring points. If you have points that are about to expire, consolidating them into one account can save them.

The process of transferring points is now easier than ever. You can do it online, without having to call Marriott's customer service.

Transferring points can be a great way to combine your points with a family member or friend and book more nights or better hotels. You can transfer a minimum of 1,000 points, but be aware that you can only transfer up to 100,000 points from your account to others in a calendar year.

To maximize point transfers, it's essential to know the transfer limits. You can receive up to 500,000 points from others in a calendar year, but be careful not to exceed the monthly or annual transaction limits.

Transferring points is a free service, but both accounts must have been previously used and be in good standing. Both accounts must have been open for at least 30 days if they have had qualifying activity, or 90 days if they haven't.

To complete the transfer, log into your Marriott Bonvoy account and enter the recipient's first and last name and account number. You can transfer any amount of points between 1,000 and 100,000 points.

It's a good idea to pool the points in the account of the person with the highest Elite status to get the associated benefits. This can include a welcome gift, free breakfast, or room upgrades.

Here's a summary of the transfer limits:

To transfer points between Marriott Bonvoy accounts, there are some criteria you need to meet. You can transfer a maximum of 100,000 points to another member in a calendar year.

There are also limits on how many points a member can receive from others. They can receive up to 500,000 points from other members during the same period.

Both accounts must have been open for at least 30 days if qualifying activity has occurred in them. If there's no qualifying activity, both accounts must be open for 90 days.
