Is it worth transferring Chase points to Marriott?
Sometimes. At 1:1, each Chase point becomes one Marriott point, so it’s worth what that Marriott point is worth on your stay. We rate a stay Great from 1.00¢ a point, and below 0.70¢ we say pay cash.
It makes most sense to top up a balance that’s a little short of a stay we rate Great or Exceptional. Chase points can’t come back once moved, so don’t transfer speculatively. Check a transfer in the calculator.
