Qatar Airways and Marriott Bonvoy: Score a 30% Bonus... But Should You?
Published on October 20, 2025, 9:59 PM
Qatar Airways and Marriott Bonvoy have a cool partnership that lets you swap Qatar Airways' Avios (their version of airline miles) for Marriott Bonvoy points, and vice versa. Now, they're sweetening the deal with a limited-time offer: you get a 30% bonus when you transfer Avios to Marriott points, and this lasts until November 15, 2025!
So, should you jump on this? That's the big question. While a 30% bonus sounds tempting, it's crucial to crunch the numbers and see if it makes sense for *your* travel goals. Generally, airline miles are more valuable than hotel points, so you don't want to give up valuable miles for a small number of points. Do you have a bunch of Avios you're not planning to use anytime soon, and are you eyeing a particular Marriott stay? Then maybe it's worth considering. But always compare the potential value you'd get from using those Avios for a flight versus the Marriott stay you could book.
