Get bonus miles when you transfer hotel points
I just got the following email :
Convert your hotel points into Mileage Plus miles now
through September 30, 2006 and earn up to 5,000 bonus miles
that you can redeem toward travel, dining certificates,
auction items, and more. Check out Mileage Plus Awards to
view all of your redemption options.

[targeted link that went to poster's MP page removed by the moderator]
Here's how to transfer hotel points and earn bonus miles:
1. Select a hotel points program that you belong to
from the list below
2. Transfer the amount of hotel points equivalent to
10,000-19,999 miles (exchange rates vary by hotel
program), and you'll earn 2,500 bonus miles
3. Convert the amount of hotel points equivalent to
20,000 miles or more (exchange rates vary by hotel
program), and you'll earn 5,000 bonus miles
Not attractive for me but maybe somebody with orphan hotel points might be able to use it.

All my links were personalized too so I did not load them. Not sure what the deal is, no offer number included but I doubt it is targeted.

Is there any way to do this in reverse? I would much rather convert Mileage Plus to Priority Club.

Has anyone figured out if this is targeted? I didn't get one, but I have a bunch of Marriott points I would like to convert - and get bonus miles for.
Thanks,

You might want to do a search on "travel packages" over in the Marriott forum and see if you can take advantage of that route.

Thanks, Just Passing Thru. I did as you suggested and checked on the Marriott forum, but unfortunately I don't have enough Marriott points to get a package. It looks like you need at least 250K, and I only have about 80K. So I guess I'll go for the straight points-to-miles conversion, hopefully including the bonus miles. I wish I knew for sure whether or not I will get the bonus miles before I do the transfer, tho...
