Best Conversion Marriott Points to Miles?
Hi all,
Recently, I signed up for US Airways 40k miles and Chase Marriott 70k points.
However, I would like to convert Marriott 70k points to miles. I have seen couple options on Marriott website that points can be converted to major airlines. Two of my preferred airlines are United and US Airways. I am wondering if there is the best way to convert these 70k points to miles of these 2 airlines. Maybe wait for promotion period? or Is it really worth to do it?
Thanks for your sharing information.

US Air has run a promotion in May over the past few years where they will give you anywhere between a 25% and 75% bonus for hotel point transfers. 25% was for anyone, another 25% if you had a US credit card and another 25% if you had status with US, if my memory serves me correctly.
I've used this promo with a point transfer from a marriott travel package to essentially get 1.5 US DM's for every 1 marriott point. If you have only 70k, I don't think you have enough to do a travel package however.
