The Offer
- American Airlines is offering a 25% transfer bonus when you transfer hotel points into American Airline miles.
The Fine Print
- Valid on transfers through October 30th, 2019
Our Verdict
All of the transfer rates are terrible, apart from transfer from Marriott. Normally 60,000 Marriott points = 25,000 American Airline miles. With the additional 25% transfer bonus this becomes 31,250 American Airline miles. How useful this is will depend on how you value Marriott points and how you value American Airline miles.
Hat tip to OMaaT
The rate is not great. Unless you don’t need the points at all, I would not recommend such transfer. You could check the values here: https://onemileatatime.com/value-miles-points/
I did the conversion and AA has done it wrong again, the math this time I mean 🙂 Instead of giving me 6125 bonus miles, I got 5000. Somehow they decided to give me the bonus only on the 20000 AA miles, before the 5000 bonus Marriott gives you 🙂
I have 215k Marriott. I don’t really foresee myself using these; I prefer Airbnb when I travel for workcation, or my clients book the hotel for me. However I fly international several times a year, AA first class partners are pretty valuable. Really can’t decide if 100k AA is worth more than 200k Marriott….
At this time it seems that they forgot to provide an actual registration button. Please tell us when they fix this. Thanks
transferred some points 3 days ago from Marriott to AA. Received them today but without 25% bonus. Is the bonus for transfer initiated today only or Should I ask them to add the bonus points ?
Did you sign up for the offer beforehand?
AA really needs to revamp the whole thing. No credit card transfer partner is a bad choice.
Not if you are sAAvy
31k AA miles seems less horrible than 60k Marriott points
Horrendous
