Marriott Travel package: X points for 7 nights in a Marriott property, plus additional points to miles.
In my case, I paid an additional 120,000 points and got 120,000 AA miles. Because they were running a 20% bonus, I got 144,000 AA miles out of the deal. I had a few odd AA miles, and it totalled up to 150,000 AA miles.
They are transferred into Hilton @ 2 for 1, so 150,000 AA miles yields 300,000 Hilton Honors points.
@:-) Got it?
