This is the link to transfer Marriott Bonv°y points to airline miles:

https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/red...s-to-miles.mi

For pre-merger SPG timeframes, see this thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...-accounts.html

How long does it take to transfer points into miles?
Typically, this process takes a few days to 2 weeks.

Who should I contact if I have trouble transferring points?
Start by contacting the recipient of the points, then Marriott, if that fails.

When, where, and how should you follow up if a transfer doesn't complete?
Send an email to [email protected] with your full name and Marriott Bonvoy number

For post-merger Marriott timeframes, please post in the wiki below:

Glad to hear things are OK there.

It seems the new transfers are going through and it is the pre-merger last minute transfers from SPG that are missing. If we need the miles credited to an airline by a certain date (in my case AC), how long before the deadline should we ask you to fix it for us manually?

Thanks.

SPG Points Transfer to AA Update

Submitted 60,000 SPG points online on 9/17/18 and received 19,998 regular AA miles and 5,000 bonus miles on 9/18/18. So 1 day for the transfer miles and bonus miles. A quick call to AA customer service and they adjusted for the 2 missing miles shortfall. YMMV.

Just an update. Transaction shows up on my MR a few days later (but points were just "missing" without any records for the first 24-48 hours). Points shows up in AC Aeroplan today. But holy cr*p! How about not let anyone freak out for 24-48 hours and just send a confirmation e-mail or at the very minimum, show it in the transaction history immediately!

Just in case anyone wants to create a wiki for the new program (to Aeroplan for mine):
Date Transfer Initiated: 15 Sep 2018
Date Miles Received: 19 Sep 2018

And with the 1:0.3333 ratio, I am short of 3 miles now

My 50000 points transferred to American on 8/17 finally showed up! Unfortunately, the reward travel I was looking for is long gone. Next time...

I made a few transfers to JAL, it took > 10 days for the deposit. I am missing anywhere from 1-6 miles for each deposit for a total of 11 miles.
What is the process to get the shortfall?

Thanks

I am also having problems with my transfer to my Miles & More account. I sent about 57,000 points on September 13th and on the same day I sent about 40,000 from my Hyatt account and they already came through. The ones from Marriott did not however and I spoke to customer service today and they opened a work case to get them through I suppose but I also wanted some advice on here. The customer service said to wait until September 26th for someone to reply to that work case and then supposedly I will be getting an email about it to let me know whats going on. To be fair my last name differs on my miles and more account as this is my old Marriott account where I did not change my surname but Lufthansa accepts points from any acccount so the names dont have to match. I know this because it worked before but its not like it matters. Can anyone let me know how long it takes for the points to show up back in your account at least if for some reason this whole delay is my fault?

Also wanted to post on here and wanted to thank everyone for the thorough research done and helpful comments. After merging my Marriott with my Starwood account all my points were back which I had used for a points to miles transfer on the 13th of September and I have initiated a transfer again to my Lufthansa account and will see if it goes through. Someone on here mentioned it was one business day but after speaking to customer service the time frame I was given was about a week so I'll just give it a week just in case. I have also initiated a transfer from a new Marriott account which doesn't have an option to merge with Starwood because it's new and that email does not have a Starwood account and am curious to see which one will go through quicker. Regarding the activity of points to miles transfers not showing up in activity, it's also not showing up for this new account so it must be a website issue and not a merge issue. I have also not received any emails regarding both my transfers? However after speaking to customer service I was assured the points were deducted and it would show up from 24 to 72 hours in activity. I will come back with an update in a week. Regards!

Seems my second post vanished great....UPDATE! After reading more about this issue on another flyertalk thread I have concluded that the problem is merging your Marriott with your Starwood account or if you do not have a Starwood account then I am not sure what the issue is but after a certain amount of time the points should be back in your account and you can initiate the transfer again. I however had to merge my accounts and then all my points were back in my account and I initiated the transfer again to my Lufthansa account and someone said it should go through within 1 business day but after talking to customer service she said to check back in a week so basically I'll let you all know in a week what happened with my points to miles transfer. She said it should go through with no problem this time and if it doesn't to call back customer service. I also initiated a transfer from my new Marriott account with my new surname where the points weren't even registered after a stay due to the merge so I had to file for a missing stay. Gosh I'm so tired of this whole situation.

Thanks.

What is the process to get the shortfall?

Thanks
If you could provide the airline transfer details to us via private mail here or by email below, we will send over to the program service team to look into the delay transfer and the missing miles issues.

Normally it may take up to 10 business days for us to receive a reply. However, it may take a bit longer for the team to get back to us lately.

Check your airline transfers carefully !

Just noticed that my transfer to Aeroplan resulted in a bizarre number of miles posted to my Aeroplan account. What should have been 60,000 miles and the 15,000 bonus miles awarded for the 5000 bonus per each 20,000 miles transfered resulted in appx (don’t have in front of me)
59,994 miles and 14999 bonus miles . No , I am not going to spend my time waiting on hold for less than 10 miles missing BUT this could create a problem for folks who transferred a specific amount to hit the exact number of miles needed for an award . I had miles in my account so the lost miles don’t make a difference to me .

I transferred to Aeroplan just before the merger (ie Aug 16)... It took a while and finally the points showed up in my Aeroplan account a few days ago....But all the points showed up- I did not experience a small shortage like the OP.

I had no problem with pre merger transfers . This was a September transfer to take advantage of Aeroplan’s bonus on transfers.

How many points did you transfer? 15k points or less at the 1 to 0.3333 ratio will transfer the same number of miles as a 3 to 1 ratio due to rounding up to a whole number.

I highly doubt that it has anything to do with Arne Sorenson's office, just a moniker for an ombudsman within Marriott. Initially the woman I spoke with was highly confident she could fix my problem. But it became apparent that there is a serious technical issue afoot regarding the transfer of points to airline programs (specifically UAL). The upshot is the issue remains unresolved with no timeline offered for a solution. At least in my case, after reviewing my on-line history, the rep agreed that I did indeed transfer 340,000 points out of my account. However, she was only able to confirm this by stitching together my history and then seeing that, at one point, my point balance was high enough to make the transfer. There was NO record of the actual outbound transfers to UAL (done in three separate batches). I know there have been reports on this board of successful transfers post Aug 19. However, based on what I have been told and my direct experience I would encourage everyone to hold off on ANY transfers for now unless you perform a successful "test" that confirms, for you at least, the transfer mechanism works. The rep was very nice and agreed to email me everyday with investigation status until the problem is resolved. I missed UAL's point sale (won't purchase top off points until I can confirm that the transfer has occurred and I can actually secure the seats I covet). Very sad as this trip is to celebrate our 30th anniversary and we want to do it in style. At this point I really envy those with deep enough pockets to purchase business/first tickets they seek and be done with this crazy points game.
A final update on my issue transferring points to UAL: After countless conversations and emails, Marriott graciously decided to manually transfer the points to my mileage plus account. Unfortunately, no one I spoke with has a clue as to where the points from my two earlier attempted on line transfers landed up (presumably still in cyberspace). While it appears from this thread that transfers to many airline programs are indeed working, I believe transfers to UAL are still a problem. So, my advice for anyone looking to top off their UAL account with Marriott points is to perform a test transfer first. Hopefully then you can avoid the intensely time consuming hassle I just went through. And, also, if the transfer process does not appear to work, at least you have not sacrificed a boat load of points in the process.
