Convert hotel points into UA MileagePlus miles

Deal Link: http://www.united.com/pointstomiles
Expiry: Nov 30, 2016

Now's the perfect time to exchange your unused hotel loyalty program points into United MileagePlus award miles. Convert your points now and enjoy a 25% bonus on your points-to-miles conversions – up to 20,000 bonus award miles. Hurry, this offer ends November 30, 2016. Online registration is required.

From my point of view, the best hotel points for this is Marriott points. The usual conversion rate is as follows. So, during the promotion period, you can convert 56000/112000 Marriott points into 31250/62500 UA miles, which is pretty good. If you don't have enough Marriott points, you can use SPG (1:3 to Marriott) or AmEx MR (2:1 to SPG) points.

BTW, if you have more than 200,000 Marriott points, you may want to choose the Travel Package option to get the UA miles (remember to add 25% bonus, up to 20,000 miles to this table): http://www.marriott.com/rewards/usepoints/morepack.mi
