Socio elegibles para la conversión:
Marriott Rewards:
No conviene para nada convertir puntos de Marriott Rewards a millas aéreas sin ir por el camino de los travel packages que pueden darte un premio de 7 días en un hotel + 120,000 millas aéreas por 270,000 puntos de Marriott Rewards.
Si redimes un travel package en el nivel de 120,000 MileagePlus, La alianza Rewards Plus lo elevará al 10% y entonces recibirás la máxima bonificación de millas de 25,000 bajo esta oferta para un total de 157,000 milas MileagePlus.
Hilton Honors
La tasa de conversión de Hilton Honors a millas MileagePlus de United Airlines es de 10:1. No conviene para nada.
Wyndham Rewards
Wyndham Rewards devaluó la conversión de puntos a millas al 100% el año pasado. Ahora puedes convertir 5 puntos a una milla aérea.
Choice Privileges
Puedes redimir 5,000 puntos de Choice Privileges por 1,000 millas aéreas.
Hyatt Gold Passport
Puedes convertir puntos de Hyatt Gold Passport a millas aéreas en un rango de 2.5:1. Las convrsiones de 50,000 puntos a millas reciben 5,000 millas de bonificación.
Club Carlson
100,000 puntos de Club Carlson se convierten a 10,000 millas aéreas lo que es un valor extremadaente pobre.
IHG Rewards Club
Puedes redimir 10,000 puntos de IHG Rewards Club para 2,000 millas MileagePlus de United.
SPG
Convertir desde SPG no conviene para nada porque necesitarías 2 Starpoints por cada milla de United. Puedes convertir tus Starpoints de SPG a puntos de Marriott Rewards en un rango de 1:3. 90,000 Starpoints abarcarían 270,000 puntos de Marriott Rewards lo que es suficiente para 152,000 millas de United Airlines + una semana en hoteles de Marriott de categoría 1 – 5.
Conclusión
Considerando lo devaluadas que están estas conversiones de puntos de hotel a millas y los cambios en las tablas de premio de UA, el mejor uso que puedes darles a tus puntos de hotel es realmente usarlos para estancias en hoteles.
