Transfer Chase Points To Marriott Bonvoy With 50% Bonus

Chase Ultimate Rewards has just launched its latest transfer bonus. Oddly, Chase actually had a transfer bonus to the same partner until yesterday, but this new bonus is smaller.

Chase offering 50% bonus on Marriott Bonvoy transfers

Through Friday, August 15, 2025, you can receive a 50% bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy.

This promotion is being offered on Chase’s end (in the United States), and is hard coded into the transfer ratio, meaning you should see the bonus at the time that you make the transfer. You can take advantage of this offer an unlimited number of times. Transfers from Chase to Marriott Bonvoy are generally instant.

It seems that we see a bonus like this at least a few times per year. We actually saw a 65% transfer bonus until yesterday, and now we’re seeing a 50% transfer bonus. Over the past few years, these bonuses have generally ranged from 40% to 70%, so the 50% bonus is on the lower end of those offers.

Is this transfer bonus worth it?

Every single time there has been a Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer bonus to Marriott Bonvoy, I’ve recommended against it. Why? I value Bonvoy points at ~0.7 cents each, while I value Chase Ultimate Rewards points at ~1.7 cents each. So unless you’re getting well over two Bonvoy points per Ultimate Rewards point, you’re probably not really maximizing your points.

With a 50% bonus, you’re getting ~1.05 cents of value per Ultimate Rewards point, at least by my valuation. That’s not how I’d recommend redeeming Ultimate Rewards points, given how much more value you can get with these points.

Personally, I value World of Hyatt points at more than twice as much as Bonvoy points, yet Chase Ultimate Rewards points ordinarily transfer to both currencies at a 1:1 ratio.

Now, in fairness, there are situations where you could get value with this transfer, in terms of the hotel stay being worth more than the value of the points transferred. However, there are probably more efficient ways to acquire those points:

• Marriott Bonvoy often sells points at a discount, and acquiring them that way could be a better value, in my opinion
• Marriott has co-branded credit cards that could be better options for earning Bonvoy points

Keep in mind that nowadays Marriott Bonvoy has dynamic award pricing, so there’s no maximum for the number of points hotels can charge for award stays. Nonetheless there are still good uses of Bonvoy points.

Bottom line

Through August 15, 2025, you can receive a 50% bonus when you transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy.

I generally wouldn’t take advantage of this, at least without a specific redemption in mind. Marriott Bonvoy isn’t an efficient Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partner, and I’d argue that applies even with a 50% bonus. I’d give this offer a “pass,” but I’m sure some will find this to be worthwhile.
