You can transfer Marriott Bonvoy points to your Southwest Rapid Rewards account online, using Marriott’s “Transfer Points to Miles” page. The conversion rate is 1,000 Rapid Rewards points for every 3,000 Marriott points you transfer. To complete a transfer, your Marriott and Southwest accounts must be under the same name.
How to Transfer Marriott Points to Southwest
- Go to the Transfer Page: Navigate to Marriott’s “Transfer Points to Miles” page.
- Initiate the transfer process: Click the “Transfer Points” option and log into your Bonvoy account.
- Choose Southwest as the travel partner: Select Southwest Rapid Rewards from the “Frequent Flyer Program” dropdown and enter your Rapid Rewards member number.
- Select the exchange rate: Enter the number of Marriott points you wish to transfer to Southwest Rapid Rewards from the “How many Marriott Bonvoy points do you want to transfer?” field.
- Review and confirm your request: Double-check all transfer details, then click “Continue” to finalize your request.
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-point bonus for every 60,000 points you transfer.
Is It Worth It to Transfer Marriott Points to Southwest?
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 Southwest, you'll only get 1,000 Rapid Rewards points, worth about $14.20 - meaning you're losing $9.8. As a result, transferring points to Southwest usually results in a loss of value.
