Yes, if you pass away, your Marriott Bonvoy points will go to your spouse. All unredeemed points can be transferred to a family member or a friend who is an active Marriott Bonvoy member at the time of the request.
To transfer Marriott Bonvoy points from the deceased member's account, the spouse should send an email to Marriott and include the following:
- Supporting documentation (death certificate, documentation showing executor of the estate)
- Signature
- Member name, membership number and address of both accounts
-
Any other details you feel are relevant
Another thing to note is that elite membership status and elite night credits will not be transferred.
