The ethics meter doesn't really trigger on this one. This is something one could do (with mutual authorization and consent of course) while the person was alive.

Perhaps there's a RC in heaven for Platinum members...

Has anybody had success transferring MR points from parent to child after death? I am talking legally by sending in letter and death cert? Mom has over 250k points and she would roll over in her grave to lose those.

Change the thread title?
Maybe change "when you die" to "upon death"? I know, I know--I'm a bit squeamish.

I did come up with a life hack that may work for some. If you can log into the decedent's Marriott account you can buy gift cards. We have had a good time shopping with grandma's points.
