United MileagePlus members, listen up! There's a limited-time offer where you can get a 25% bonus when you transfer hotel points into United miles. While most hotel transfers aren't usually the best value, this deal makes one option particularly interesting: Marriott Bonvoy.
Here's the breakdown: Normally, 60,000 Marriott points convert to 20,000 United miles, with Marriott throwing in an extra 10,000 miles as a bonus. But with this 25% transfer bonus from United, those 30,000 miles become a sweet 37,500 United miles!
Why does this matter to you? If you're sitting on a pile of Marriott points and eyeing a United award flight, now's the time to pull the trigger. This bonus effectively increases the value of your Marriott points when redeemed for United miles, potentially saving you some serious cash on your next flight!
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.
