We are talking about two different things here. I am talking about purchasing points for yourself or for someone else (which is sold via points.com) .There is a limit to that (20k per year).

You are talking about point transfer from one spg account to another. If you already have points in your SPG account, you can transfer to another account with the same address (there is no limit on that transfer).

The discussion was about buying points

I guess technically you could open up a dozen fictitious accounts (buy a maximum of 20k in each) and then u can transfer everything in one account. That would be a pain not to mention account potentially getting shut down. But I don't see how you can buy unlimited points on star wood (as someone mentioned earlier). Say I want to buy 500k points for 4 first class tickets internationally, that means I have to open up 25 accounts, get 20k in each account and then transfer to one account...sounds kinda ridiculous

May I buy more than 20,000 Starpoints per year?

Your account may receive up to a maximum of 20,000 Starpoints per account per calendar year, whether purchased by yourself or received as a gift from another member. However, you may purchase as a gift for other accounts, as many Starpoints as desired. Each gift recipient can receive up to 20,000 Starpoints per calendar year.
