Points transfer limits
Hi, I have a question regarding the 50,000 points transfer limit between accounts.
Marriott website says:
"A limit of 50,000 points per year may be transferred into or out of a member’s account."
If I receive a 50,000 points transfer, would I be able to transfer 20,000 of those points to someone else? Or does the above mean that I can either receive OR send 50,000 points?
Thanks!

I have rec'd multiple 50K into my account from family members, hence as far as I know, the limit you are referring to is for transferring out.

and regarding limits, whats the least amount of points one can transfer? For instance if an account is missing 70 points, or if one account has 5200 and another has 4800 and there is a 10k stay available?

Does anyone know, when transferring points what information do you need for the recipient beside the name and Marriott account number? Thank you!

from my experience, over the phone and email request, they ask for the address on file of the recipients as well.

Since my post above, I did have a few transfer request didn't ask for the address, but in most cases they do. I am guessing for your transfer, since it is your wife, the address is the same as yours and the agent will be able to see that on the computer, hence, didn't ask for it. It is just a guess.
