This is the link to transfer Marriott Bonvy 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:

Datapoints for Southwest. I also updated the Wiki

So 1 day instead of 2. I was also worried because my last name is different between the 2 but no issues. Also it was only 1000 pts to extend expiration so that might matter.

Angry Attention Former SPG Members

Since Marriott has swallowed up Starwood, don’t expect the same excellent customer service that you came to expect with Starwood. As an SPG member, I used my Starpoints to regularly purchase airfare, which required me to transfer the needed points from my SPG account into my airlines membership account. I always did this online and it was seamless. My points always appeared in my airline membership account within two business days. Well this has all changed now with Marriott Bonvoy. After going back and forth with them on the phone for over a week after I initiated a points transfer, Marriott states that the points transfer will take approximately six weeks....that’s right, SIX WEEKS! They blame it on my airline club which is a lie, as my Starpoints always took only 48 business hours. I can deposit a check with my iPhone and the money will be in my checking account the next day, but Marriott takes a month and a half to transfer points...unbelievable. Keep this in mind and plan ahead if you need to transfer points while planning your vacation.

You may wish to ask a moderator to merge this with one of the many post-SPG threads in the Marriott forum. Welcome to FT.

Welcome to FT. I like your handle and feel the same way.

You might want want to check out the wiki in this thread.

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...fer-times.html

Were compiling data on transfer times to various airlines. You didnt say which airline you are transferring to, but this list should set realistic expectations. Sometimes, we can see a pattern. For example, AS miles almost always deposit on Wednesdays.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, I'll scroll through it. The airline I was referring to is Hawaiian.

Marriott to Alaska

Transferred 40K from Marriott to Alaska in the early hours 0:02 of Wed 2/27 showed up in my account this morning SAT 3/2. 10K bonus deposited as well. 50K in total deposited. Interestingly in my mileage plan activity it reflects that that the points were deposited on 2/26 and 2/27 respectively.

Activity dateActivity typeStatusMilesBonusTotal

02/27/2019 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL MARRIOTT POINTS TO MILES
Credited 40,000

2/26/2019 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL MARRIOTT POINTS TO MILES

PS. guess the WED only batch days are over with, given this and another recent report.

And just your luck that we don't have a single DP for HA! However, hopefully you are encouraged to see that most airline transfers don't take 6 weeks.

Once your miles show up, feel free to post your success (preferable in the wiki format) and someone will be happy to copy/paste your contribution to the wiki.

Marriott Rewards too had excellent customer service prior to the merger. It is now an unrecognizable BonFire.

Transfer Marriott BONVOY to Alaska Air account with different name?

Hello

anyone with this data point. I tried to transfer some Marriott Bonvoy from my account to my wifes Alaska Air account on Feb 7. Points were deducted from my Bonvoy account but points still have not arrived in my wife Alaska account.

What so do you guys suggest I do?

Have you transferred to her before? Because a week ago or so I tried to transfer KE points to a family member's account not in my name for the first time, and the points were gone but not in my account even after a week. After contacting marriott, they said it had to be account in my own name and they gave me my points back and transferred to KE again and finished in a day. This was a first for me so not sure if the same applies to you.

Transferred 240K Marriott points to Air France on 2/27 and another 75K on 2/28. Bonuses came through within 48 hours. It's 3/6 and still pending...Marriott said it's gone from their side. Air France tells me they've been having tons of issues from Marriott for the past 3months.

Welcome to FT. Thank you for the DP. Looks like AS is back to Wednesdays. Wiki updated.
