New 65% Marriott Bonvoy Transfer Bonus From Chase Ultimate Rewards — But Not for Long

Chase just launched a new transfer bonus for Ultimate Rewards cardholders. Now through June 30, can get a 65% transfer bonus when transferring Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy. That's a better-than-typical transfer bonus between Chase and Marriott. However, Marriott Bonvoy is one of the less valuable Chase transfer partners. So, does it make sense to take advantage of this promotion? Here's our full breakdown.

Targeted Marriott Promo: Get Up to a 40% Bonus When You Buy Points

Marriott Bonvoy is offering its members the chance to buy points with a 40% bonus. This bonus drops the effective cost-per-point down to as low as 0.89¢ per point. That opens the door to stays at the most lavish Marriott properties at a fraction of the cost, such as going on a safari in Africa or relaxing in the luxury of Bora Bora. Or, use this promotion to mint airline miles for as little as 1.79¢ per mile. Here's when this promotion could make sense.
