After my last big redemption in 2018 for a F class SYD to LHR for a relative, I had about 50K miles left in my account which was not accruing much due to many fare classes earning a minimal 25% or zero miles on CX or BA for example. Now there’s an opportunity of a promo at Marriott BonVoy of cashing in every 60K points for 25K AA miles. I can cash in about 240K BonVoy points for 100K miles. I value miles over BonVoy points, as I’m hoping to do a similar route myself when Australia eventually open their borders again. I live and travel mostly in Asia nowadays and cash is usually better in value than points. For example, St Regis Kuala Lumpur goes for 35K a night, or US$ 165. In Europe, I prefer to stay in small B&Bs than large flashy properties.

With so many international partners’ flights curtailed, wondering if it’s worth transferring so much over so I’d like your opinions..

Thanks.
