Gifting Marriott points

[nightelves]

I remember pre-merger there was a link for you to gift SPG points which in turn allows you to transfer them to Marriott. Does anyone know if there’s still a link for you to do that with Marriott Rewards?

They have it on a silly spot on the website under 'About Marriott'

How to Redeem Points

Redeem your Marriott Bonvoy loyalty points to open a world of adventure, from hotel stays and travel experiences to shopping, gift cards, events and more. Find out how to spend your points.

It is now done via phone. Painful.

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.
Just contact Member Support at (801) 468-4000 to start sharing.

Or if you mean you want to buy points as a gift to give someone then it is here:

Ouch that’s not good. Really didn’t like have to call to transfer points. Thanks.

I've called them before and they are quite responsive. Try this AU ph number 1-800-450-010.

Did they say if there is a cost to gift points BTW?

Nah haven’t called them yet. Will let you know when I do. I remember seeing somewhere that there is a fee attached now but can’t confirm if it is.

I just called them to maybe find a way to get the 8,800 points without buying, but apparently not.

I had a few other questions, and asked about a fee to share miles. He said there is no charge if you phone in to do it with both member numbers.
On line, apparenrly there is a charge.

Awesome thanks for confirming that.
