Chase Ultimate Rewards credit cards
Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred to Marriott Bonvoy at a 1:1 ratio. This means 1,000 Chase points can be converted into 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
Chase offers several of the best travel rewards credit cards in the market with their Ultimate Rewards credit cards being at the top of the chart.

Bilt Rewards credit cards
Bilt Rewards points can be transferred to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio. This means that every 1,000 Bilt Rewards points you convert will give you 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
On top of that, you will receive a bonus 5,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for every 20,000 Bilt Rewards points you transfer. So all-in-all, a 20,000-Bilt Rewards point transfer will give you 25,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
Bilt only offers one credit card and that's the Bilt Mastercard. The best thing about this card and the program as a whole is that you can pay rent and mortgages with no transaction fees. This is something you can't do with other leading cards, so the program is very much worth looking into if you're able to pay these with a credit card or use the complimentary Bilt bill pay that comes with signing up.
Here are the credit cards that Bilt offers:
United MileagePlus credit cards
United Airlines miles can be transferred to Marriott Bonvoy at a 1:1 rate. Every 1,000 United miles you convert will give you 1,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
United offers a good amount of co-branded credit cards that you can use to earn lots of United miles on United purchases as well as on everyday spending. Unfortunately, transferring the miles you earn to Marriott will likely result in a devaluation due to United miles being worth about double that of Marriott Bonvoy points on average.
That's not to say that it is always a bad transfer because there are Marriott Bonvoy point redemptions that can get you as much as 2 cents or more — especially at high-end results. But most of the time, it will not be worth it.
