Marriott changing point sharing option (now 100k)
 

Saw this when looking around tonight:

• "Share your points......Now you can share your points with any other member. Transfer 1,000 points or more--up to a maximum of 100,000 points per year--for a transaction fee of US$10. Gold Elite, Platinum Elite and Platinum Premier Elite members transfer for free."

Thanks for sharing this. You might be right about not allowing to go over 100K miles now.

I thought the family point transfers were still allowed.

That option has always been hidden way deep on some page and you needed an agent who a) knew about it and b) was able to get it done.

On the FAQs, I only find the same 50K limit as before:

"How do I share points with another Member?

​​​​​​You can share your Points with any Marriott Loyalty Program Member as long as both accounts are in good standing and have been open for at least 60 days. The Member transferring his/her Points initiates the transfer by contacting Member Support and providing the Membership Number of the recipient. You can transfer or receive 1,000 Points or more at a time - up to a maximum of 50,000 Points per year."

Where did you find the 100K limit?

Thanks!

Nothing has changed.

I feel like the T&C hasn't been updated yet but definitely the Redeem page now points to a 100k limit, where before it did say 50k.
However, I also feel that the Redeem page before didn't mention the 'award' workaround before -- so its potentially a 100k straight limit but still unlimited if you redeem towards an award per the detailed T&C. Hopefully that's the case still. We'll see when the dust settles.

Looks like they finally updated the T&C according to this TPG article. No more transfers to satisfy an award redemption, limited to 100k per year.

Transfer option(s) of >100k points gone?
 

Shortly after the merger happened in August, I was still able to transfer >100k Marriott points to a friends account in order to book a reservation. This transfer - until yesterday - was mentioned in the old T&Cs as a once per calendar year exception (50+ k). This whole paragraph is gone now. I also cannot find anything in the current T&Cs about transfering points within the same household (similar to what was possible with SPG in the past).

Does that mean now, we cannot transfer points within the family or among friends anymore? Will Marriott introduce points pooling like Hilton did?

I think it is still allowed but still broken. I made a rez. wth my wife's acct. on 8/22 and asked that the 140K pts be transferred from my acct. He said "done". Well, it's not done yet. :(

not working
 

Called in an hour ago and a friendly CSR transferred 100K pts to my wife's acct. I asked her to wait so I could log in and verify it. Well, surprise, surprise--no record of xfer. CSR said wait a bit and check again. I said like "maybe a month?" She laughed and said it won't take that long. Ha. Bottom line, sys. still broken.

100K pt xfer complete
 

Good news. Transfer of points from my acct. to my wife's finally came through. :D

To confirm, you attempted to transfer 140K previously which didn't work. But you just transferred 100K a few days ago and that worked? I think the whole point of this thread is to understand whether 100K+ transfers still exist. Any one have a data point on this?? I see a comment above that says they transfered +100K just after integration. I attempted the same but was told it was down. This was a huge impact to me as the points were stuck in my wife's account with no status. Because of award availability, we had to book under her account. Ideally, I'd like to transfer to my platinum premier account and re-book to get the elite night credits plus the platinum perks.

Thanks!
