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.

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
