Hotel points to UA - 30% bonus up to 25k points

[tizey]

have waited for this for some time to convert a Marriott package.

United Promotions

 

[kamchatsky]

The key is "up to 25K miles" .....

Converting a 120K UA package can only get you 145K UA miles, so it is 20.8% bonus only.

 

[Haplo]

with UA you get 10% bonus so its 132k instead of 120k, so like kamchatsky said it is just under 20% bonus.

Still better than nothing

Yep, still better than nothing. Happy that it now gets me the little bit extra to get one-way to Europe in J, and one-way to North Asia in J with the devaluation taking place shortly without having to inefficiently use up more SPG/Marriott points.

How long do UA miles last before expiring?

 

[tizey]

Anyone else have a go at this? I redeemed two (one for me, one for Mrs) and our miles from Marriott flights and nights package came through as a 132k transfer - not as 120k + 12k bonus. Reports around say I should end up with 157k once the 25k bonus hits.. so should be a good investment of SPG points.

 

[tizey]

Can confirm that the 25k bonus have hit each of our accounts. So in total 157k united miles in total for 180k Amex Gateway points

180k Amex -> 90k SPG -> 270k Marriott = 157k United + 7 Night Hotel Package.
