How can I transfer Marriott points to British Airways?

You can transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to your British Airways Club account online, using Marriott’s “Transfer Points to Miles” page. The conversion rate is 1,000 Avios for every 3,000 Marriott points you transfer. To complete a transfer, your Marriott and British Airways accounts must be under the same name.

How to Transfer Marriott Points to British Airways

1. Go to the Transfer Page: Navigate to Marriott’s “Transfer Points to Miles” page.
2. Initiate the transfer process: Click the “Transfer Points” option and log into your Bonvoy account.
3. Choose British Airways as the travel partner: Select British Airways Club from the “Frequent Flyer Program” dropdown and enter your Executive Club member number.

You can transfer up to 240,000 Marriott points per day. Transfers aren’t instant, so it’s best to allow a few days and avoid waiting until the last minute if you plan to book flights. You'll also get a 5,000-Avios bonus for every 60,000 points you transfer.

Is It Worth It to Transfer Marriott Points to British Airways?

Marriott points are worth about 0.8 cents each when you use them for hotel stays, so 3,000 points get you around $24 in bookings. But if you transfer those 3,000 points to British Airways, you'll only get 1,000 Avios, worth about $15.20 - meaning you're losing $8.8. As a result, transferring points to British Airways usually results in a loss of value.
