Transferring Marriott points to United
The short answer
Marriott Bonvoy points transfer to United MileagePlus at 3 points to 1 mile, and United gets a bigger bonus than other airlines: 10,000 miles for every 60,000 points moved in one transaction. So 60,000 points become 30,000 United miles.

How many United miles do you get?
| Marriott points, in one transfer | United miles |
|---|---|
| 60,000 | 30,000 |
| 120,000 | 60,000 |
| 180,000 | 90,000 |
| 240,000 | 120,000 |
You can move 3,000 to 240,000 points a day. Move them in blocks of 60,000 in a single transaction, because Marriott’s terms only pay the bonus when the threshold is reached in one go. Try any amount in the calculator.
