To the point Earn 30% more Marriott Bonvoy points by transferring your American Express Membership Rewards points until October 31, 2024!

30% bonus between American Express Membership Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy

Until October 31, 2024, you can get a 30% bonus by transferring your American Express Membership Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy.

Usually, 1 Membership Rewards Point = 1.2 Marriott Bonvoy points. But with the promotion, that means 1 Membership Rewards Point = 1.56 Marriott Bonvoy points.

So, if you transfer 1,000 Membership Rewards points, you’ll receive 1,560 Marriott Bonvoy points (instead of 1,200).

Bonus points are awarded when the transfer is completed. Therefore, it is normal to see the rate of 1,000 Membership Rewards points = 1,200 Marriott Bonvoy points when confirming the exchange.

For example, the 15,000-point welcome bonus on the American Express Cobalt® Card can be converted into 23,400 Marriott Bonvoy points.

And if you’re a Cobalt cardholder, every purchase in a 5X category (grocery, restaurants, bars, convenience stores) is worth 7.8 Marriott Bonvoy points when you transfer your points during such a promotion. This is an excellent value!

That’s why we consider the American Express Cobalt® Card one of the best cards for EARNING points via everyday spending.

Another example: the 60,000 Welcome Bonus Points earned with the American Express® Gold Rewards Card can be converted into 93,600 Marriott Bonvoy points.

Here, it’s a great way to earn points via the welcome bonus!

Finally, don’t forget that if you don’t already have one (or both) of the Marriott Bonvoy credit cards, this is a great way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points!

Bottom Line

This is a great promotion for transferring Membership Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy and getting free hotel nights.

As a reminder, you can transfer your Membership Rewards points from any American Express Membership Rewards credit card such as the American Express Cobalt® Card, the American Express® Gold Rewards Card or the American Express Platinum Card® to Marriott Bonvoy.
