    Amex transfers to Marriott and Hilton

    Yesterday when I transferred the points no mention of the transfer bonus T&Cs but now it is very visible. Great to see the first transfer bonus but disappointed it is not ongoing.

    Great feedback and will turn it down a notch now and wait until it is the right time. I only have the Bonvoy Brilliant card and a credit score of 749 opened last November so under 1 year would part of the issues I am having. Maybe if I had applied for the Aspire today without changing my...
