American Express MR Points To Marriott Bonvoy Points Transfer Offer - 30% Bonus MB Points

[anirban.choudhury]

even i have transferred points today and those got credited also.still its showing me 8th nov.it may get updated later.will try to transfer some from axis also just to check if it's taking those as a qualifying activity

If you have transferred from axis to ITC and then to Marriot that would count as qualifying activity but direct axis to MB doesn’t qualify as per their TNC

My last activity was in Dec 2022, and I transferred points today but still it’s taking Dec 2022 as last qualifying activity
Not sure whether it will be updated later or not

Actually it'll take some time to get updated. check today, my expiry date was updated today morning.

is the bonus only applicable for amex transfers or applicable for other card partners as well if any ?

Only for Amex transfer

I am planning a trip to Dubai next year Q1. What would be max value?
Amex to Emirates Skywards
OR
Amex to Bonvoy for hotels (fifth night free)

 

[sxchzy]

for dubai you would get a better value of emirate skyward mile per rupee
so go for flights

For Dubai unless you are going for Business or First Class , it's best to go revenue
One way fare from Delhi is around 17k INR for saver and 24k miles + 6k INR for award seats
That would give you a RR of 0.56 per Skywards
You would get better RR on J and F though

My 2 cents are book revenue flight and using MB for hotel stays in Dubai

Does this option lets add someone else's Marriott account along with our own to transfer MR points?

 

[pmhunter]

I think it won't , my last qualifying activity was in Dec 2022 and I transferred points today.
But points expiry is shown as Dec 2024.

My expiry didn't change. But my total points didn't change as well, so wondering if both would change together.

If you are planning to book revenue use Skyscanner to search for cheaper deals
You might get return from Del/BOM/Kol as low as 30-35k

I would suggest not to use Skywards miles for economy.

If you are planning to business one way is around 59k but with a flexi revenue fare you can upgrade with 29k skywards miles .

2 yrs.if you transfer points or stay at Marriot then it will again extend for 2 yrs.

Is it also applicable to the 15k points we get upon paying the joining/renewal fee of HDFC Mariott credit card? Can someone pls confirm, as it’s listed only 1 yr validity on HDFC website

The 15k points is a Free Night Award and the validity is 12 months from when it's credited not 2 years. It would look something like this in the app

So can this be clubbed with rest of our points? And I’m guessing these points won’t be extending by loading more points into Mariott

When you are booking a stay you can use the 15k certificate and club more points if needed. But the validity for rest of your points extends only when you make the stay.
