Update: This promo ends today!
BA is offering a 30% bonus on hotel points transferred into Avios through 3/31/19.
Eligible hotels include:
- Hilton
- Hyatt
- IHG
- Marriott
- Radisson
- Shangri-La
The only hotel chain with a worthwhile transfer ratio is Marriott at 60K:25K. With this promo 60K Marriott would become 32,500 Avios.
Avios aren’t what they used to be when short-hauls in the US were just 4.5K miles and AA had amazing availability, so only transfer if you have a short-term need for them.
Bonus Avios can take 4-6 weeks to show on your account from the date of conversion.

What’s the Hilton ratio
Horrible, 10:1. Never worth transferring Hilton to miles.
What about if my Hilton points were expiring?
Transfer over a few points from AMEX MR to Hilton?
What’s the best way to use Hilton points?
5th night free, for diamond
Is it worth transferring UR to Hyatt then BA?
No.
lol why would you do that. Chase UR goes directly to British 1:1
Because IF UR to Hyatt is 1:1 (I have no idea) he benefits from the 30% bonus.
did you ever redeem for a travel companion pass? and if you didnt would you pick economy over business? the taxes and surcharges are very hard to swallow even if your not leaving ot departing the Uk.
I’ve never flown BA. Don’t care to pay fuel surcharges.
not the best biz class seats – and not the best service
What about Hyatt?
Thanks
2.5:1. Not at all worthwhile as Hyatt points are quite valuable.
have over 100k british airways points, don’t know what to do with them- any ideas?
I just booked First class one way TLV-NYC in June for 110.5k plus 288 in taxes
Use the avios for things to do. Thats what I’ve done
Hi Dan, Tnx a lot for everything.
I got a Travel Together Ticket from BA for spending on my card.
What’s the best way to use it?
hello Dan maybe i will get a response this time?
any other transfers that are worth doing from Marriott? or should i use all my points for his one?
Marriott points are almost always better to transfer to United. They have excellent bonuses from time-to-time and Marriott, I think, always gets a United bonus.
Will this promo work for transferring amex platinum points to ba?
I’d have said so if that was the case 😉
I tried doing the 60k Marriott to Avios online (https://www.marriott.com/loyalty/redeem/travel/points-to-miles.mi) and it not showing the added 30%. Called them and the guy didn’t know what I was talking about.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
The 30% is added by BA 4-6 weeks after conversion.
Oh, cool. And do I need to do 60k at a time or as long as it’s a multiple of 60 (eg 120k) I should get the 30% bonus?
Multiple of 60K.
Can i transfer to someone with the same last name as me?
How do you transfer call hotel or BA for transfer of IHG points
Can I use BA Avios points to travel domestically, like to Orlando from NY? If so, how?
Yes.
