I am wanting to purchase some points to confirm a points reservation now, but in a few months will need to be able to accept a 100k points transfer from my spouse's account for a separate reservation. I want to make sure that if I purchase points now, it will not keep me from accepting the full amount of transferred points later. Can anyone clarify that these are from 2 different "buckets" and do not get pooled together?
Hi Jenn0625,

These are from 2 different "buckets".
Marriott Bonvoy Members can share up to 100,000 Points per calendar year.
A Member may purchase or receive Points purchased by another Member for a combined maximum of 50,000 Points per calendar year. During some Points Purchase Discount promotions, the combined maximum may be increased to 100,000 Points during the Promotional Period only.

If you need any further assistance, please let us know.
