Marriott Bonvoy Redemption

Besides redeeming free nights with no blackout dates at over 7,000 hotels and resorts around the globe, Marriott Bonvoy points also allow you to use your points for flights. One of my favourite uses of Bonvoy points is to transfer them to several airlines at a 3:1 ratio, where 60,000 points yield 20,000 miles. Additionally, Marriott adds 5K bonus miles for every 60K points transferred, resulting in an incredible 25,000 miles. It’s best to convert in batches of 60k Bonvoy points.

Take Away

If Marriott is your preferred hotel brand, Marriott Bonvoy American Express cards are a must-have. Potential cardmembers enjoy 15 elite night credits, an annual free night award, and up to Gold Elite status. Unlike US Bonvoy cards, Canadian Bonvoy cards do not combine elite night benefits across personal and business cards; the maximum per member is 15 elite nights.
