The Fine Print
- Must transfer a minimum of 1,000 points
- Valid until November 17th, 2016
Our Verdict
They offered a similar transfer bonus last year, there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason as to who it’s targeted to (e.g some Platinum cardholders will be eligible, others won’t be). A 50% transfer bonus is as good as it gets for SPG, so if you’re thinking about transferring then now would be the time to do it. I still don’t think this is a good value of MR points due to the low transfer rate (even with the bonus) although you could effectively get 3 Marriott rewards points per 2 MR rewards points (still terrible value IMO).
Marriott travel packages might be worth considering though, you’d 180,000 Memebership Rewards points and for that you’d receive a seven night stay at a category 1-5 property and 152,000 United Miles (with this bonus), 142,000 American Airline miles (with this bonus) or 120,000 miles with other programs.
American Express have the current transfer bonuses:
- American Express Membership Rewards: 50% Transfer Bonus To Plenti (500:750) – Get 1.5¢ Per Point: Valid until December 31st, 2016
- American Express Membership Rewards: 25% Transfer Bonus To Alitalia (1000:1250) : Valid until October 31st, 2016

I only see this as being decent for topping out a marriott account to get a travel package. I have about 82k SPG and 3k marriot, leaving me 21k marriott or with this, 14k MR short of the package.
I just need 500 additional SPG points and I don’t have the cc but i’m not targeted for this transfer bonus.
for 17$ you can buy 500 SPG points. might be with it if u really need them
Where do I find out if I am targeted or not?
You should have received an e-mail, it should show up when you go to transfer points as well.
