Either give only UA GS/1K/PLT MR Gold, or give MR PLT's UA Gold and MR GLD's UA Silver.
the deal on the United side are these 2...
1. Say you have 150K Marriott reward points and 70,000 miles on UA.
You can do the 50K United miles into 50K marriott reward points...
this will give you 200K marriott reward points which you then book the marriott reward package----with the package its 7 nights at a marriott + 50K mileage...thus you get the mileage back into your account.
thus its like getting 50K in marriottt points for free.
2. the other part of the deal---if you are Gold on united you are automatically gold on Marriott.
