The short version
Bilt points transfer to Marriott Bonvoy at 1:1, instant to 48 hours. The largest global hotel footprint of any Bilt partner.
Why Marriott Bonvoy Is Bilt's Biggest Hotel Partner
Marriott Bonvoy spans nearly 40 brands and more than 9,700 properties worldwide, from Fairfield Inn and Courtyard on the budget end up through The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis at the top. No other Bilt hotel transfer partner comes close to that footprint — it's the one program virtually guaranteed to have a redeemable property wherever you're headed, from a highway exit in Ohio to a resort in the Maldives.
That breadth cuts both ways. Marriott's pricing is fully dynamic now, with no published award chart, so the points cost for the same room can swing widely by date and season. The payoff for doing the legwork is a currency that works almost everywhere, paired with a Bilt account that earns points on rent — something few other transferable currencies can say.
How Marriott's Dynamic Award Pricing Works
Marriott dropped its published, category-based award chart back in March 2022. Properties are still sorted internally into pricing tiers (Marriott now uses nine of them), but the number of points you'll actually pay moves with cash demand, day of week, and season rather than sitting at a fixed number. In practice, that means checking the calendar in the Marriott Bonvoy app or on marriott.com is the only reliable way to know what a specific night costs — third-party award charts are estimates at best.
The tradeoff for losing chart predictability is that Marriott's redemption floor stays reasonably low at entry-level and midscale properties, even as its top-tier luxury resorts can run into six figures in points per night during peak season. Every Marriott award stay of five consecutive nights also gets the fifth night free, a benefit that has carried through the switch to dynamic pricing unchanged and is worth building into any longer trip.
Points+Cash: Stretching a Bilt Balance That's Short
Cash + Points bookings let you cover part of a stay with points and the rest with a card, which is useful any time a Bilt-to-Bonvoy transfer leaves you just short of a full points redemption. Pricing is dynamic on this option too — Marriott shows the exact points-plus-cash split for a given room and date right alongside the standard points-only price, so there's no separate chart to reference.
Because the split is calculated per stay, it's worth pulling up both the points-only price and the Cash + Points price before transferring anything from Bilt. If the cash portion is small relative to the rack rate, topping off with points+cash can beat paying the points-only price out of a balance you'd rather preserve.
The Current Bilt-Marriott Transfer Bonus
As of this writing, Bilt and Marriott are running a standing bonus on this transfer path: move 20,000 Bilt points in a single transaction and Marriott adds 5,000 bonus Bonvoy points on top, for 25,000 Bonvoy points total — a 25% bump over the base 1:1 rate. This isn't a short-term promo; it's been the structure of the partnership since Bilt added Marriott as a transfer partner in November 2023, and both bilt.marriott.com's terms page and Bilt's own transfer-partner documentation still show it with no stated end date. Linking your Bilt Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy accounts in the Bilt app also earns a separate 100-point Bilt bonus, on top of whatever transfer bonus applies.
Even so, transfer bonuses are exactly the kind of offer that can be adjusted or pulled with little notice, so confirm the current terms on Bilt's transfer page or the official Bilt-Marriott partnership page in the Bilt app before you move points — don't assume the 25% bonus is still live just because it was when this guide was written.
Sweet spots worth booking
| Route | Cabin | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Category 1-2 properties (Fairfield Inn, Four Points, TownePlace Suites) | N/A - use property tier instead | Roughly 5,000-28,000 points/night depending on dateThe best per-point value in the Bonvoy portfolio; useful for road trips and everyday domestic stays. |
| Category 3-4 properties (Courtyard, Marriott Hotels, Sheraton) | N/A - use property tier instead | Roughly 15,000-55,000 points/night depending on dateThe broadest middle of the chart — most full-service Marriott and Sheraton hotels land here. |
| Category 5-6 properties (Westin, W Hotels, JW Marriott) | N/A - use property tier instead | Roughly 35,000-88,000 points/night depending on dateUpper-upscale brands; check off-peak dates closely since the swing between low and high demand is large. |
| Category 7-8 resorts (The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION) | N/A - use property tier instead | Roughly 50,000-140,000 points/night depending on dateWhere a Bilt transfer can realistically fund a luxury resort stay that would run $700-plus in cash. |
| 5-night+ stays at any category | N/A - use property tier instead | 4 nights of points + 1 free nightThe fifth-night-free benefit applies automatically to any award stay of five consecutive nights or more, at any property tier. |
How to transfer Bilt points to Marriott Bonvoy
- 1Pick your Marriott property and pull up specific dates on marriott.com or in the Bonvoy app to see the live points price (and the Cash + Points alternative) before moving anything.
- 2Open the Bilt Rewards app and link your Marriott Bonvoy account if you haven't already — that earns a separate 100-point Bilt bonus.
- 3Check whether the transfer bonus (currently 5,000 Bonvoy points per 20,000 Bilt points transferred) is still active on Bilt's transfer terms before you commit.
- 4In the Bilt app, select Marriott Bonvoy from your transfer partners and enter the amount, in 1,000-point increments, up to 500,000 Bilt points per day.
- 5Confirm the transfer — expect it to post within minutes, though Bilt allows up to 48 hours.
- 6Book the award night directly through Marriott once the Bonvoy points (plus any bonus) have landed in your account.
Tips before you transfer
- •Don't transfer speculatively — Marriott's dynamic pricing means the points cost can change day to day, so confirm the exact price for your dates first.
- •Transfer in a 20,000-point chunk (or a multiple of it) to capture the full transfer bonus if it's still running when you go to move points.
- •Remember Bilt's account-wide transfer minimums apply here too: 2,000 points for Blue-tier members, 1,000 points for Silver, Gold, and Platinum, all in 1,000-point increments after that.
- •Check the Cash + Points price alongside the points-only price — it can be the better deal when your Bilt balance is a little short.
- •Stack a five-night-plus stay to pick up the automatic fifth-night-free discount rather than booking four nights and a separate fifth.
