Transfer Partners

Hotel reward points tend to be worth less than airline miles because of the lower value of the best redemption options – namely hotel stays. That doesn’t mean these new welcome bonuses are worth scoffing at – far from it! Marriott Bonvoy lets members transfer to the frequent flyer rewards programs of over 40 different airlines. All a Bonvoy member must do is log in to their Bonvoy account, click on “Redeem Points,” choose “Travel,” and click on the box titled “Transfer Points to Miles.”

The following airlines are partners with Marriott:

Aegean Airlines Asiana Airlines Frontier Airlines Lufthansa
Aeroflot Avianca Hainan Airlines Qantas
Aeromexico British Airways Hawaiian Airlines Qatar Airlines
Air Canada Cathay Pacific Iberia Saudi Airlines
Air China China Eastern Airlines Japan Airlines Singapore Airlines
Air France China Southern Airlines Jet Airways South Africa Airways
Air New Zealand Copa Airlines JetBlue Southwest
Alaska Airlines Delta Air Lines KLM TAP
All Nippon Airways Emirates Korean Air Thai Airways
American Airlines Etihad LATAM Turkish Airlines
Virgin Atlantic Virgin Australia United Airlines

*Offer Terms and Conditions

Here are the official terms & conditions for the latest Marriott signup bonuses:

The promotion earning period is between the applicant’s new card open date through January 31, 2024. Only eligible paid nights completed after card open date and during the promotion earning period will qualify towards the promotional offer. Eligible paid nights include all paid stays, including pre-paid stays and bookings paid with Marriott eGiftCards that are booked using the eligible cardmember’s Marriott Bonvoy account.

Eligible paid nights do NOT include: (i) award redemption stay nights including Cash + Points Awards, Free Night Awards, or a points redemption; (ii) stays booked through third-party online retailers and travel agencies;  and (iii) stays at Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott Executive Apartments®, and owner-occupied weeks at Marriott Vacation Club®, Marriott Grand Residence Club®, Sheraton Vacation Club®, Westin Vacation Club®, The Ritz-Carlton Club®, St. Regis Residence Club® and Luxury Collection Residence Club. Eligible paid nights do not need to be booked with an eligible card but must be booked under the eligible cardmember’s Marriott Bonvoy account number to count toward the promotional offer. 

 

Only one room at one property per night will count toward the promotional offer. The eligible paid nights do not need to be part of the same stay and can be achieved over multiple stays. The 50,000 bonus points will be awarded to the eligible cardmember’s Marriott Bonvoy account by Marriott up to 12 weeks after the sixth eligible paid night is completed. A Marriott Bonvoy member who elects to earn miles is not eligible for this promotional offer. To be eligible for this promotional offer, your eligible card account must be open and not in default at the time of promotional offer fulfillment. If your eligible card account is not open for at least six (6) months, Marriott, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, and American Express reserve the right to deduct the bonus points from your Marriott Bonvoy account.
