We recently enrolled in the destinations program and got the 800 bonus pts. We were hoping to use these points to tac on a few extra days on top of the week we had confirmed... but we are 25 pts short. We asked if we could pay for the extra pts, but they said the only option was to exchange next year's week for destinations points - not worth it. They said the other option was to get someone we know to transfer points over to us. We don't know anyone else who's a Marriot owner :( So, does anyone have any destinations points that they are unable to use and want to offload? Of course we will pay you for it. Thanks. :)

Let me know if you still need 25 points as I think I have some left over from my use of the 800 point bonus. Tim

Tim,

Unfortunately, Marriott won't let Bonus Points be transferred, so unfortunately DXC will need to find someone who has points to transfer. I've sent DXC a link to a website where we are trying to get points rentals going.

Best,

Greg

Thanks Greg. Yes, I now remember reading about that. Too bad, as I have about 50 bonus points remaining that I won't use.

Thanks everyone who has responded! It sucks that Marriott won't let us transfer the bonus pts :mad: I will keep looking.

Greg, thanks for the links - trying to get in touch with a pts owner now to see if they are able to rent out their pts.

Thanks again!
