I might have to do a bit more jiggling around to purchase a few extra k of points so that I end up with 250k for transfer purposes. Not that I am taking this seriously of course....
auto transfer is only when you stay with Marriot (at least thats what I was told previously) ie your stay will autoconvert into Tesco points etc

Self transfer means you have to stick with their designated bands - so as you say need to "jiggle" a little to get the best for you.

I am thinking of buying a "few" MRs at a time and then converting all together
