A favorite redemption with Starwood points was moving 20K to various airline programs, receiving a 5K bonus and getting 25K airline points. Is Marriott going to have a version of this award? I don't see any award for airline miles only. I see the package for 7 days at a hotel and airline miles.

Airline Miles:
- You’ll be able to transfer points to more than 40 airlines, including new options, such as Virgin Australia, Aegean Airlines and Air New Zealand. The new ratio will be 3 points for one mile.
- Plus, starting in August, we’ll add 15,000 points for every 60,000 points you transfer to airline miles, providing you with a total of 25,000 miles in the airline program of your choice.
thats from previously, they really need to work on showing this stuff

Transfer as few as 3,000 points and up to 240,000 points per day - and any amount in between.
Use points for airport lounge access and TSA PreCheck enrollment.
