My challenge is the points requirement. I'm buying the maximum points each year, using my Chase card as much as possible, doing the gift card promo each year, etc.
I currently have about 900k LT points. I don't generate many points from stays for work. Most of my stays are personal. At my current rate of earnings it will take 8 years to hit 2 million points.
I currently have about 200k Chase Ultimate Rewards points. Does anyone know if I can transfer some of these UR points to Marriott and have them count towards Marriott lifetime status? I know there are better uses for UR points, but I can make it to LT Plat several years sooner if this will work.
I would like to reiterate this question since it hasn't been answered, does anyone know if UR point transfers count towards Marriott lifetime? How about purchased Marriott points?
