- Bonus is capped at 25,000 miles in this promotion
Although United has a handful of transfer partners, the main worthy one is Marriott Bonvoy. You can transfer 3 Marriott points to 1 United mile, and if you transfer 60,000 points in one transaction, you earn a 10,000-mile bonus.
In other words, 60,000 Marriott points = 39,000 United miles, which is a great deal. I have to point out that I’m not too sure if that 10,000 bonus miles attracts 30% bonus as well, but I remember it does.
The problem is United has made several devaluation attempts in the last couple of years, and I often find better value in Aeroplan when I want to redeem something. I’ve collected 20k odd United miles but not used them on anything yet.
