Our Verdict

They have offered 35% transfer bonuses in the past and 30% recently. It isn’t clear if Marriott hotel + flight packages are eligible or not, last time they offered 30% it was specifically called out as not working and now it says it’s at the discretion of the hotel program. Either way I’d wait for a better bonus to come along as 25% is weak compared to previous offers.
