Heads up, fellow award travelers! Marriott Bonvoy is sweetening the deal for transferring your hotel points to airline miles. You can usually transfer your Marriott Bonvoy points to almost 40 different airline partners, with most transfers happening at a 3:1 ratio (meaning 3 Marriott points become 1 airline mile). That's already a solid way to top off your airline accounts when you're just a bit short of an award ticket.

But here's the kicker: Marriott gives you a 5,000-mile bonus when you transfer at least 60,000 Bonvoy points at once! That means 60,000 Marriott points become 25,000 airline miles (20,000 from the 3:1 transfer plus the 5,000 bonus). However, the real magic happens when transferring to United Airlines. With United, that 5,000-mile bonus DOUBLES to 10,000 miles. That means 60,000 Marriott points converts to 30,000 United miles, a whopping 50% bonus!

Why is this important? If you're sitting on a pile of Marriott points, this is an amazing way to convert them into valuable airline miles, potentially unlocking that dream award flight faster. And if you're a United flyer, the doubled bonus makes this an absolute no-brainer! Just remember to transfer in chunks of 60,000 Bonvoy points to maximize those bonuses. Happy travels!
