Hotel Points Best Use of Points and Miles without any travel Plan

[nknaveen457]

Hi All,

I currently have Below Points/Hotel Vouchers; some will expire next year. I don't have any travel plans till next year, so I thought to book hotels for my brother/friends. However, I learned that I can't transfer points to other accounts, and another person can't redeem the Taj Voucher received through Amex. Please suggest how to burn these points efficiently :-

Amex MRCC: 55K points
Amex Platinum Travel: 50K Points
Axis Atlas Miles: 8K
Accor Points: 6K
Marriot Points: 15K
Taj Voucher : 10K

Any alternate method to redeem these points, especially the Taj Voucher, Accor and Marriot points would be highly appreciated.

transfer AmEx to Marriott then from there you can transfer to friends and family.

For Marriott just transfer 1000 points into your account. That will extend the validity. For Accor you could do the same, transfer in using Axis. And, Amex points don't expire anyway so don't have to worry about them. If Axis miles are expiring just transfer them all into Accor. Now, only thing left is Taj.

Is there any limitation to it or we can transfer to anyone without any limit at 1:1?

So you are saying i can keep transferring some points every now and then and it will extend validity of all Marriot and Accor Points by next 2 and 1 year respectively? If this is true, I'm relieved. Thank You
