Gifting the minimum of 1,000 points costs $12.50, and you can send points in increments of 1,000, up to 150,000 points per year. You may also be able to get a discount if Marriott is running a promotion on gifted points.
How to Gift Marriott Points to Another Member
- Go to Marriott's "Gift Points" page and log in to your account.
- Select how many points to send as a gift to another person from the drop-down menu.
- Enter the recipient's name, email, and Marriott Bonvoy membership number, then click "Continue."
