Amex to Marriott point transfers are 1.0:1.3 right now. Is it worth?

No

No way.

never

Definitely not. SPG point balances were multiplied by 3 with the merger of the SPG and Marriott Rewards programs, so you can essentially view a Marriott points as being worth 1/3 of what SPG points were worth

Double the rate and then maybe

On the other hand... I never fly Delta or Southwest, so not sure what else I should do with them

P1. Can GS upgrade award tickets from a different star alliance partner? If you book united ticket with Aeroplan points will you be able to upgrade?

If so Aeroplan May still be a good option particularly with United mileage devaluation coming next month on variable award mile requirements.

Transfer to delta at 1:1 then to marriott at 1:3 right?

That makes the 1.3 offer look awful right? Am i missing something?

Oohh good to know, thanks!!

But still goes to show how shitty of an offer 1.3 to 1 amex to marriott is

nope. get the gift cards and spend them on things you like/need. like business clothes

I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.
