Smart With Points Podcast - Boost Your Miles & Points

Marriott Bonvoy has launched a new partnership with Nectar offering two-way point transfers, but the 2:1 transfer ratio in both directions essentially halves your points value regardless of transfer direction. Jack breaks down why this partnership feels designed more for Marriott's benefit than savvy points collectors, with transfer rates that rarely make financial sense. While launch promotions might occasionally improve the deal, this partnership should remain a last resort option for most travelers. The episode explores the key details, potential silver linings, and why direct Marriott redemptions or credit card transfers typically offer much better value.
