You can transfer certain transferable points to Marriott Bonvoy, a major hotel loyalty program, through an online portal or app.
Transfers typically process instantly, but in rare cases may take up to seven business days to appear in your Marriott account.
The transfer ratio is 1:1, but transferable points are generally valued much higher than Marriott Bonvoy points, making this a less optimal transfer option.
Transferring is best reserved for topping off your Marriott account or securing a specific high-value redemption.
What to consider
Transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed, so confirm your plans before submitting a request.
Points must be transferred in increments of 1,000.
Marriott Bonvoy uses dynamic award pricing, so redemption rates and availability can change at any time.

However, Marriott isn't one of the most valuable options for transferring your Chase points. So, read on to learn everything you should know before transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Marriott Bonvoy.
With an eligible Chase card that earns transferable points, you can combine rewards that you earn from other Ultimate Rewards cards in your account. For example, if you have the Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase Freedom Unlimited® (see rates and fees), you can combine rewards from both cards in your Chase Sapphire Preferred account. By doing so, the rewards that you earn on both cards are then redeemable as if you earned them all on your Chase Sapphire Preferred.
The Chase-to-Marriott transfer ratio is 1:1. You can only transfer points from Chase to Marriott in increments of 1,000, though.
TPG's January 2026 valuations value 1,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points at $20.50 and 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points at $7. Transferable points are inherently worth more than any individual currency you can convert them to, but Chase points are almost three times as valuable as Marriott points by our estimation.

Chase occasionally offers transfer bonuses for select transfer partners. These transfer bonuses are relatively rare, however, and we don't recommend transferring points speculatively unless you have a specific, imminent redemption coming up.
How long does it take to transfer Chase points to Marriott Bonvoy?
Transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy usually occur instantly. However, you may need to log out of your Marriott account and log back in for the points to become visible.
Some transfers may take until the next business day to complete, and occasionally it may take up to seven business days. Luckily, Chase sends an email once you submit a transfer request and another email once the transfer is complete. So, keep an eye out for the email stating that your transfer is complete if it doesn't occur instantly.

When should you transfer Chase points to Marriott Bonvoy?
Now that you know how to transfer Chase points to Marriott Bonvoy, the question becomes: When should you transfer Chase points to Marriott?
As discussed above, Marriott Bonvoy isn't the most valuable Chase transfer partner. Therefore, if you have a limited number of Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you may want to save them for higher-value Chase transfer partners. After all, you can still purchase Marriott points at relatively low rates during the program's frequent sales or book paid stays. And, even if you want to redeem Chase points for a Marriott stay, you may get a better value for your points when redeeming them for a paid stay booked through Chase Travel℠ instead of transferring them to Marriott.

However, you may want to transfer Chase points to Marriott to secure a high-value Marriott Bonvoy redemption, book a "Stay for 5, Pay for 4" stay or top off your account for a redemption. And, keep in mind that you can transfer Marriott points to select airline programs, including some with rewards that are otherwise difficult to earn.
It's best to only transfer Chase points to Marriott shortly before you plan to redeem them. After all, Marriott Bonvoy employs dynamic award pricing, so award rates and availability are subject to change at any time.
It's easy to transfer Chase points to Marriott Bonvoy. However, Marriott Bonvoy isn't the most valuable Chase transfer partner, as its rewards are less valuable than those of partners like World of Hyatt, United MileagePlus and Air Canada Aeroplan.
So, unless you have more Chase Ultimate Rewards points than you can use, you're transferring to book a high-value redemption or you need to top off your Marriott account by a few thousand points, you'll usually want to utilize other transfer partners when redeeming your Chase points.
