Chase Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy: 70% transfer boost returns for a limited time
Chase Ultimate Rewards cardholders can now receive a 70% bonus when converting points to Marriott Bonvoy through October 15, turning 100,000 Chase points into 170,000 Marriott points. This matches the largest transfer bonus ever offered by Chase for Marriott. The promotion could lower the effective cost of award stays, such as a night at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve for about 36,000 Chase points.
The 70% bonus runs through October 15, converting 100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points into 170,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. This matches the highest transfer bonus Chase has ever offered for Marriott, according to the article.
Example redemptions include a night at the Walt Disney World Swan Reserve for about 36,000 Chase points, an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora from 50,000 Chase points, and Waikiki stays from 34,000 Chase points. Travelers should remember that resort and destination fees still apply at these properties.
This promotion may significantly lower the effective cost of premium hotel stays for Chase cardholders, potentially making luxury travel more attainable for middle-class consumers who accumulate points. It could spur a rush of transfers before the deadline, possibly increasing demand for award rooms at popular destinations like Disney World, Hawaii, and Bora Bora. This may also influence consumer loyalty to Chase cards, as the bonus rewards strategic point accumulation and redemption.
