Combining Points
I'm going to be transferring my SPG points to my Marriott points. So once that is done will I be able to transfer those Marriott points to my IHG account ?
Not sure if this matters but I don't have a Marriott cc or either Chase Sapphire but I do have an IHG cc. Thanks

Some hotel reward programs allow for the exchange of points through Points.com, however, Marriott/Starwood are not partners in the exchange program.

Can't be done. And if you manage to find a website that promises to do it for you, you'll lose so much of the value that it won't be worth it.
Might I ask why you think that moving SPG points to Marriott makes any difference?

I haven't transferred anything yet but being new at this I am just trying to simplify things rather than having so many account to keep up with. Plus I do stay at more Marriott's which is why I have more points there. Not sure if that transfer may come to bite me in the butt one day or not...��
But next trip is involving IHG which is why I was looking for more points for them. Thanks for the responses.

You can easily move the points back to Starwood should need arise. Marriott owns Starwood, thus the ability to move between those two programs. At some point we expect the programs to merge and the currency to become one.
