yes why not you can do this for any property or brand

He used revenue for booking that's why he is a titanium elite award nights are not counted for status points in most FFP's.

With Bonvoy / Marriott (and most other chains - Hyatt, etc) award nights are counted towards elite nights.

The point was award booking would never help in getting titanium elite
It has to be revenue either you paid or your company but someone paid 😀

Again, not true. One can get Titanium Elite by just doing redemption bookings for self of 75 or more nights (without considering bonus elite nights through credit cards or other medium)! However, this would not work for Ambassador Elite status - one needs to spend US$ 23,000 + 100 N for this.

Wanted to double check if I can book a hotel room for my brother from my MB account even though I would not be staying there . I cant find the option to do that in the app

You can make a reservation for your friend through Bonvoy app, No need to call anyone, Just make sure you are giving accurate details of the guests while making the booking. You can even modify this information after making the reservation,

Where do I give the guest details ?

Guest details cannot be edited (at least on the bonvoy app). You can make the booking (in your name) and then call up bonvoy / the hotel directly and ask them to change the name and update the booking.

You will not earn points (in case of revenue booking) and elite nights (in either case - revenue or redemption booking) if guest name does not matches the bonvoy account holder's name.

Make sure the booking matches the number of guests checking in and just to be extra sure (in case they dont change the name) do a refundable booking and check.

Thanks a lot . I will call the reservation team tomorrow at the hotel and talk to them also .

Does the person receiving the transfer need to have any transactions in Marriott bonvoy to receive points? Or can we just create an online account and immediately transfer to it ? Thanks!
