You can now transfer American Express Membership Rewards to Marriott\u00a0Rewards<\/a>. Points transfer at the same 1:1 ratio as they do to Ultimate Rewards. The addition was to be expected as Starwood was a long-term partner of Amex, and as the programs merged it made sense to add Marriott.<\/p>\n

Is It Worth It?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Only if you need to. Remember, Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer to Marriott Rewards at a 1:1 ratio<\/a> as well, and frankly we're not a fan of that redemption.<\/p>\n

The only exception is if you have a large balance of miles in a program and Marriott Rewards is its only viable transfer option. In this case, it may be worth your while making a transfer to Marriott Rewards and then on to the airline, so you can meet a specific redemption, and take advantage of your already existing miles.<\/p>\n

Our Take<\/span><\/h2>\n

While it is kind of good news that you can now transfer Membership Rewards to Marriott Rewards, it is not exactly profitable or rewarding at a ratio of 1:1. Apart from very small transfers to top balances up for either hotel stays or transfers to airline partners to get that 5,000-bonus point award when you transfer 60,000 Marriott Rewards for 25,000 airline miles, these transfers aren't something we'll be looking at.<\/p>\n
