SPG: Convert points into miles: SPG members may convert SPG points into miles at a ratio of two points to one mile.

Not Worth it.

Marriott:

Convert points into miles: With RewardsPlus, all MileagePlus members can convert Marriott Rewards points into award miles at a 20% discount compared to other airline partners. The following conversion rates apply:
8,000 points to 2,000 miles
16,000 points to 5,000 miles
24,000 points to 10,000 miles
56,000 points to 25,000 miles
112,000 points to 50,000 miles

I meant SPG-Marriott-United. Could get 93k for 56k.

Thanks. Specifically the option with the 7 night voucher, on that screen there's no order button

I remember reading on DDMS that you have to call for that one.

Can you guys verify something real quick?

I want to do the SPG to Marriott to United transfer to do the 7 nights certificate (90k SPG = 152k United). If I only have 84k SPG can I top up the Marriott account using Ultimate Rewards? Or will this blow the deal?

Trying to confirm that is the marriott account balance that is important not how the points get there...

Just the Marriott balance, doesn't matter how they got there.

eli232 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 07, 2016, 11:06:50 PM »

How about transferring from united to Marriott and then back to united to get the 152k deal? is this a no-no as it seems to tricky?

I just did the Marriott to UA transfer.
Can someone verify how long it takes for the bonus to post?
I need to transfer UR points to top up my UA account to book tickets...
Would rather use UA bonus.

It'll cost you 390k points but you can do it.

Can you elaborate a bit? How many SPG points cost and how many United will I earn?
