American Express X Marriott Bonvoy Points Transfer Offer - 10% Bonus Points

[CardTroller]

Hey TFC Guys,

I hope you’ve seen some IYKYK posts on Twitter about the new offer. They’re referring to the American Express x Marriott Bonvoy Points Transfer Offer.
On 17th feb 2025, the offer will go live.

Amex Platinum and Centurion cardholders will be able to transfer their MR points to their Marriott Bonvoy account and receive a 10% bonus.
However, this is quite disappointing. Amex used to offer a 30% bonus, but now it’s only 10%—and that too, only for Platinum and Centurion cardholders.

Moderator's Note:


The offer is live from 17th April 2025 and will continue till 18th April 2025

The 10% Bonus points are capped at 25,000 MR points, thus to maximise the value, you should transfer 2,50,000 MR points to Marriott, not more than that.

The credit of the Bonus Points will happen after 120 days from the date of transfer initiated.

With the recent devaluation of redemption rates of Marriott hotels, especially the top-of-line properties such as JW Masai Mara, this 10% bonus compensates a bit of it, though Marriott could've done better with no capping and a higher % bonus. The Platinum Charge card's offer of 1,50,000 points just got a bit sweeter with this offer.

Official T&C of this offer attached.

10% Bonus 🤣🤣 Everyone were waiting for 30%. Massive disappointment.

This bonus usually comes from Marriott's end and not Amex. So why would they care if user has Platinum or Centurion?

10% is a disappointment. Specially when the redemption on Bonvoy has seen a higher devaluation

This time the bonus is from Amex as per their T&C

Because Platinum and Centurion card holders are high spenders(most of them) and might spend some extra money on the add-ons.

It’s only for Platinum and Centurion.

I find this so frustrating! 😅 I have got 192k Marriott points with no rush to transfer, and I was patiently waiting for the 30% bonus promo. Now I am torn between grabbing this 10% offer or holding out.

Any thoughts on whether Marriott or Amex points are more devaluation-proof?
Where should I be storing my points if I have no immediate use?

Even I was trying to find the T&C on Amex website, but could not.

This is the T&Cs

BURNOL moment for referral sellers 🤣

Also, note that the max limit of bonus is 25,000 points.

So, even if you transfer 500K points, you will only get 525,000 points and not 550,000 points.
