When you convert your Hotel Points into the American Airlines AAdvantage miles program with participating partners, you’ll receive a 25% bonus on the number of miles that you earn. You have this short opportunity to convert your hotel points into say 20,000 AAdvantage miles earning you 5,000 bonus miles from American which is enough for a domestic round-trip MileSAAver award.
One of the hotels I would like to transfer is 5,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points to 2,000 AAdvantage miles + 500 bonus. I do not stay at a Hyatt chain as much as a Hilton or Marriott although their points are redeemable for M life resorts on the Las Vegas Strip. You can see more on this offer here on the AA website.
Participating 25% Bonus Hotel Programs Include:
Best Western Rewards
Choice Privileges
Hilton HHonors
Hyatt Gold Passport
IHG Rewards Club
Marriott Rewards
Club Carlson Gold Points
Wyndham Rewards
Point conversions from Starwood Preferred Guest, Melia Hotels International & Resorts, La Quinta Inns & Suites, and the Langham Hospitality Group OUIDA program are not eligible for the 25% bonus offer. I would imagine with Starwood because they already give you a bonus to transfer and that would be stacking mega miles. You should expect these miles to be posted by American Airlines to your AAdvantage account within 7 business days after the initial conversion activity has been posted by the hotel program. The offer ends March 15, 2015 so act fast.
