American Express Transfer Bonus: 30% To Marriott (1:1.3)

The Offer

• Some American Express members are being targeted for a 30% transfer bonus to Marriott. Normally you can transfer 1,000 Membership Rewards points to 1,000 Marriott points. Under this promotion you’d receive 1,300 Marriott points.

Our Verdict

A 40% transfer bonus just ended and  we saw a 50% transfer bonus last year, before that it was always transfer bonuses to SPG for 50% as well:

• October 23 – November 17th, 2016: 50% bonus
• October 12th – October 31st, 2015: 50% bonus
• October 16th – November 30th, 2014: 50% bonus

Even at 50% this is a bad deal in my opinion as Membership Rewards points are so much more valuable than Marriott. Because of that I wouldn’t recommend transferring. As always a full list of American Express transfer bonuses can be viewed here.
