What happened
Chase is paying a 70% bonus on Ultimate Rewards transfers to Marriott Bonvoy through October 15, 2026. Extra Bonvoy points post up to 7 days after the transfer, and the offer ends at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
Frequent Miler values Marriott points at 0.73 cents each, so the bonus implies 1.24 cents per Ultimate Rewards point. That beats cashing out at 1 cent per point, but other Chase transfer partners often yield more than 1.24 cents per point. Marriott points also sell around 0.89 cents each, so buying during a sale can beat this transfer.
The bonus is mainly useful to top up Bonvoy for a specific award.
Transfer only for a stay that is already worth booking; otherwise hold Ultimate Rewards or wait for a Marriott points sale.
