## Summary

American Express is paying 1,350 Marriott Bonvoy points for every 1,000 Membership Rewards points transferred through December 10, 2026, a 35% bonus on the usual 1:1 rate.

The offer is limited and requires enrollment in the Amex Offers section of the account before any transfer. Points move only in 1,000-point increments. American Express says deposits can take up to 2 days. AwardWallet often sees them post in under an hour.

AwardWallet users value Marriott Bonvoy points around 0.93 cents each, which comes to about 1.26 cents per Membership Rewards point with the bonus. Their average Membership Rewards redemption sits at 2.04 cents.

Transfer only to complete a Marriott stay already priced; otherwise the points are worth more left in Membership Rewards.
