HHonors to Membership Rewards to Miles
Hello everyone,
I've been travelling for last few months and accommodated good amount of Hhonors points(around 500K). I don't have any vacation plans in near future that i can redeem my HHonors points and My corporate rate is always cheaper than Pay with Points(assuming 0.5 cents per HH point). So was thinking about some redemption options and came up with below idea, would like your feedback.
1. Transfer HH to MR points(1:2)
2. Transfer MR points to Sky miles(1.2 Cents/Mile). Currently MR is offering 30% bonus for Virgin Atlantic Miles, good value for MR points.
3. Or redeem MR points at 1 cent/pt.
Have Questions
Can we retransfer MR points? Any better option for redeeming HH Points?

Can’t you shop on Amazon now and pay with HH points? Not nearly as good as booking a hotel but if the OP doesn’t want to use them for stays, there aren’t many other options.

So even if your corporate rate is better than 0.5cpp if you are going for best value redemption, with that many points I'd probably redeem them anyway as hotel stays.
You also don't have a rush, it's 12 months from your last activity to see what might come up!
