Free point transfers between Bonvoy members (annual cap applies).
Bonvoy is the loyalty program of Marriott. Members earn points on eligible stays and redeem them for free nights, room upgrades and partner experiences.
Bonvoy listings use one of these fulfillment types. The total price including taxes, surcharges and transfer fees is fixed before purchase.
Buyer and seller must first be connected through the program's pool/group function.
You issue one specific award ticket (route, date, cabin, passengers) for the buyer.
In all three cases the total price is fixed before you buy — taxes, surcharges and transfer fees are already included. No extra charges afterwards, and payout is only released after confirmation.

Yes. MilesMarket only supports transfers that use each program's own official features — transfer, family pool, household account, gifting or booking an award for another person. Using these built-in tools between private individuals is generally permitted. You remain responsible for following your program's current terms and conditions; if a feature is marked ⚠ or ❌ above, do not attempt to use it.
Concrete cases we see fail — and exactly what happens next.
Sharing login credentials
You hand over your username, password or 2FA code so the buyer can "transfer the miles themselves".
Consequence
The program detects an unusual login, freezes the account and voids the balance. You lose all points, the payout is blocked, and MilesMarket must suspend your seller profile.
Selling the whole account
Instead of transferring the balance, you offer the account itself — including status, credit card link or stored payment methods.
Consequence
Loyalty programs prohibit account transfers. The account gets closed, miles are forfeited, and the order is cancelled as fraudulent — no payout, possible permanent ban from MilesMarket.
Wrong recipient name or number
You transfer to a similar-looking member number or a nickname instead of the exact legal name from the order.
Consequence
Most programs will not reverse a completed transfer. The buyer opens a case, you have no proof of correct delivery, and the payout is refunded to the buyer.
Payment or contact outside the platform
The buyer offers PayPal Friends & Family, crypto or a bank transfer to "save the fee" and you continue via WhatsApp or email.
Consequence
Buyer/seller protection does not apply off-platform. Chargebacks, scams and disputes fall entirely on you, and both accounts are banned once discovered.
Fake or edited proof
The transfer failed or is delayed, so you edit an old screenshot or Photoshop the amount to release the payout faster.
Consequence
Our review flags mismatched metadata or reference numbers. The order is reversed, the payout is clawed back and the account is closed for fraud.
Using bots, brokers or fake identities
You buy miles from a reseller, use a bot to top up, or list points that belong to someone else.
Consequence
Programs regularly audit unusual balances. They claw back the miles from the recipient too, which triggers a buyer refund — you owe the payout back and are permanently removed.
This guide explains Bonvoy's official ways to share points with another member or use them to book travel for another person. It does not cover any activity that would violate the program's terms.
Log in to your account on the official program website
Open the transfer / gift / award booking section
Enter the recipient's information and the amount
Review the fee summary and confirm the transaction
Complete any required verification (email, SMS or app)
What happens after submission
You will typically receive an email confirmation. The recipient's balance updates instantly to within 72 hours depending on the program.
In most programs, transfers are final. Confirm the recipient details carefully before submitting.
Some programs charge a per-transaction fee. Check the official terms for the current amount.
New accounts, unusual activity or verification checks can delay transfers. Contact the program's support if it takes longer than published.
Everything you need for a clean Marriott Bonvoy trade: which official routes the program allows, which fees and limits apply, how a realistic price per 1,000 miles is formed and how MilesMarket settles the deal with protected payment.
Value comes from the award you can book, not from a fixed table. We compare official award charts with prices actually paid on the marketplace every day. The live prices above show the current average per 1,000 miles and the cheapest active offer.
MilesMarket only brokers what Bonvoy itself allows: award bookings for another person, pooling or family accounts, or the official paid transfer. Sharing credentials or selling accounts is prohibited.
Know the program's transfer or booking fee, the annual transfer limit and the processing time before you trade. All of it is already included in the checkout total, so no extra invoices can follow.
The buyer pays into protected payment, the seller delivers with proof, the buyer confirms. Payout is automatic after confirmation, or 72 hours after delivery when no case is opened.
