Marriott Bonvoy To Etihad Guest 50% Conversion Bonus October 1 – 31, 2021

Etihad has launched a conversion offer from Marriott valid for points transferred between October 1 – 31, 2021.

Etihad Guest will bonus Marriott Bonvoy points to miles conversions by 50% during the campaign. The conversion table on Etihad’s website is incorrect, however.

You can access Etihad’s page for this offer here and Marriott’s for points to airline conversions here.

Etihad’s table for Marriott points to miles conversions:

Not sure why Etihad has this incorrect table up on its website?

The points are converted to miles at 3:1 ratio and Marriott gives an extra 5,000 miles for conversions of 60,000 points (20,000 base + 5,000 bonus miles = 25,000 miles). You should always convert in the lots of 60,000 points to miles to maximize this.

You will earn 25,000 Etihad Guest miles before the additional bonus when converting 60,000 points, but the table above indicates that you would only earn 17,500 miles when converting 70,000 points. Quite a difference.

Conclusion

Guest members should earn 37,500 miles if they convert 60,000 Bonvoy points when following the correct table on Marriott’s website and Etihad’s 50% additional bonus.

This offer can make sense for those that need some Etihad Guest miles for an award reservation, preferably with one of the partner airlines.
