Sorry for this morbid question.
Best approach to transferring Amex and Chase to an authorized user (or another Acct) from a parent that is dying. Same goes for Marriott. (Have access to all accounts).

Sorry about your loss.

Call CS and add yourself or have your parent add you as an authorized user. Not all accounts are inheritable by a non spouse. Some paperwork will be involved, but start with a human in a call center.

AmEx used to have a team to transfer AmEx points to a family member when the primary card holder passed. You had to also assume the balance. It might be worth talking to AmEx about or maintaining a balance so that they have inventive to transfer the balance and points to an heir.

***I have separate chase account, AA, Amex and Marriott.

Thanks A1.

Sorry to hear this.. good luck. Amex usually is pretty good about these things

Sorry to hear of your impending loss. Note that if you're an authorized CC user, you may be assuming some or all of the debt.

I've heard Delta will often make exemptions when someone dies and transfer miles to a spouse for free. My mom just logged into my dad's account and used the points, resolving that issue.

Not sure about the others, and Marriott is anyone's guess at this point.

Just get their passwords and spend the points when you need them. Way easier and no additional transaction cost
