NOW here is something interesting: I had no idea that the accounts "must" to be in the same name. Apparently others had problems if the spelling of the names were different on your Marriott and Alaska. So, I transferred from my wifes Marriott into her Alaska and mine.
After finding this rule out I assumed I would have a mess of trying to deal with Marriott. But today, her points posted as well as mine.
Maybe it follows same last name or something.
That happened to me as well. I transferred points from wife's account to mine and about a week later the showed up... even after Marriott telling me it couldn't be done and they had no idea where the points went.
