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:

Transferring points to KE (to merge)

Korean Air (KE) Initiated: Monday 13 January 2019 Received: Monday 13 January 2020

Was initiated around 10pm EST on the 13th. I don't know exactly what they posted, but it shows 10,000 received on 1/12 and 40,000 received on 1/13. Obviously the received date is based on Korean Time.

HOWEVER, I made a similar transfer request, different account, 10 minutes after and the miles have not shown up...

Both accounts had successful transfers in Aug/Sept, 2018

I think I had that error or something similar and clearing cookies and cache solved the issue.

Thumbs up Asia Miles data point

Cathay Pacific Asia Miles (CX) Initiated: Thursday 23 Jan 2020 Received: Friday 24 Jan 2020

I was worried because my Asia Miles account has my middle name and Bonvoy doesn't.
It wasn't a problem and I'm surprised it took less than a day.

I had not transferred points in a long time and was a bit afraid with the IT issues that I would not get a correct result. So I called in to try and get some reassurance that moving 240k to Alaska Air would net me the correct 100k AK points. The woman who spoke to me sounded as if she had never even heard of the program so she had to look it up and after a short while told me that I would indeed get the 100k points. She then proceeded to do it for me and shortly told me that it was completed and that I should see my points in about a week. A few minutes later I checked my Bonvoy account and the points were gone. Big surprise was that my points showed up in my Alaska account two days later on a Monday morning!

Well you should know that 13 January couldn't possibly be a Monday on both 2019 AND 2020

What's the best use of Bonvoy points?

My guess is that saving points for hotel stays is usually the best use of points for any program. However, if one doesn't use that hotel chain much, then collecting points and transferring them to miles is the 2nd best. The worst is to earn miles for each hotel stay, except if one really almost never stays at that chain. Correct? I ask because I never stay at Marriotts but will soon. I was planning to get points, not miles then stay at Marriotts occasionally instead of trying hard to avoid them, as I do now.

Any idea, at a wild guess, that we could expect the next Bonvoy to AA transfer bonus?

That hadn’t been my experience, my best Marriott point redemptions have been transfers to airlines when I’ve done so when there's a transfer bonus. Even without a bonus it’s easier get more out of 25k airlines miles than 60k Marriott points. But my leisure travel, thus travel on points, is primarily during the less crowded shoulder seasons. I’ve been getting around 1.5 cpp from Marriott point with airline transfer. During most of my leisure travel with last year’s category adjustments a lot of the Cat 7 and 8 properties when we've traveled would have been well under 0.7cpp redemptions.

more than that airline transfer give the Marriott points a floor as protection against devaluation that Hilton points, with a 1:10 transfer ratio and IHG 1:5 don't.

Point transfers

I transferred points to TAP over 90 days ago. They never posted. The points were deducted from my Bonvoy acct. TAP has still not resolved it. This is what I posted.

On 11/6 I transferred 200k points from Marriott to TP. Only 45K miles. They never arrived. I contacted TAP several times via email and then on FB messenger. Initially I was told it takes up to 90 days. In the past transfers from Marriott to other airlines took less than a week. Now after 90 days still no result. Now when I contact TAP they say they are waiting from their partner. Really?

As you can see in the wiki, we have lots of data pts on airline transfers, but none on TP and none that took 90 days. That is absurd and I am 99.9% sure those miles are never showing up. Why don’t you contact the Lurkers to look into it?

I had one transfer to SQ that left my MAR account but never showed up in my SQ account. Marriott eventually (grudgingly) returned the pts to my account.
