How hard is it to transfer United, American, and Marriott points from one spouse to another. One spouse died. We still have login credentials. Do we need a death certificate?

Idk if this is allowed but couldn’t you just use the miles to book tickets for other people while the account is still active?

Marriott is fairly easy. Just transfer them before you notify them of the death. United and American charge to transfer, and the cost typically isn't worth it. However, you can usually donate airline miles to an "approved" charity.

With a death certificate the airline will transfer the miles with no fees


It was straightforward

I missed the question about the death certificate - Transfer or donate the points/miles, and don't worry about the death certificate or notifying them of the death. You may want to unsubscribe from any email notifications and just let the account go dormant.

United has pooling.. so could you not enable and just use from the pool.

Thanks! Enabled pooling on JetBlue and it was easy. United next!
