I received the latest LatinPass newsletter today and I can't believe my eyes. It says that as of 8/1/00 you can convert LP miles to Marriott points on a 1 for 2 basis (5000 LP = 10,000 Marriott. There is no mention of any restrictions on the transfer of bonus miles.

There is also a big article on the MM promo with lots of Flyertalk quotes. I'll post more details later, but I wanted to get his news out.
