MR to United Miles Conversion Fee
Thinking of transfering 125K MR points for 50K UA miles. Site says takes 6 weeks or sooner for "maybe" fee. Does anyone know the fee and if it can be waived for 3X current PLT member?
Thanks
Thanks

I've been a Platinum member for three years now and just did the Marriott to UA transfer. I was charged the $15 fee; however, the miles posted within about six hours. Although I would have preferred to have not been charged the fee (I asked if it could be waived for Platinum members and was told no), I was still impressed with the quickness.

Thank you for your response. $15 isn't so bad in the scheme of things.

I transfered points to UAL about a month ago and they waived the fee for me since I am Elite, but the fee is only $15 and the miles posted to UAL the next morning.
