This conversion remains attractive, but the rules and limits have tightened over time. Below is an updated, clear guide on how the transfer works, the current limits, and what to expect going forward.

Club ITC Overview
Club ITC is the loyalty programme for ITC Hotels, which operates over 140 properties across around 90 destinations in India under brands such as ITC Hotels, Welcomhotel, Mementos, Storii, Fortune Hotels, and WelcomHeritage. ITC has also started expanding outside India, with properties like ITC Ratnadipa in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
- 1 ITC Green Point = 1 INR
Green Points are the currency of the programme and have a straightforward, static value that can be redeemed for stays and dining across the ITC portfolio.
ITC to Marriott Transfer Ratio
- Club ITC to Marriott Bonvoy = 2:3
This conversion offers a 50% bonus: for example, 10,000 Green Points convert to 15,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. That ratio remains unchanged as of the May 2026 update. Given typical Marriott redemption values, the 2:3 ratio can be worthwhile compared to direct ITC redemptions.
Why the Transfer Exists
ITC Hotels maintains a franchise relationship with Marriott International. Several of ITC’s top luxury properties are part of Marriott’s The Luxury Collection. Because of this partnership, Marriott Bonvoy members can use Bonvoy points at participating ITC hotels. To provide reciprocal value for Club ITC members, ITC introduced the option to convert Green Points to Marriott Bonvoy points.
The Axis Bank Connection
The ITC-to-Marriott transfer has been a useful route for Axis Bank EDGE reward point holders because ITC was classified favorably in Axis’s transfer categories. With Axis Bank removing its direct transfer option to Marriott, the Club ITC bridge became more important for those seeking Marriott points from Axis rewards. That increased demand has contributed to ITC tightening transfer limits.
Transfer Limits
Transfer rules have been progressively tightened since the partnership began. Initially there was no quarterly cap. The limits evolved as follows:
| Transfer Period | Transfer Limit / Quarter | Max Green Points / Year | Max Bonvoy Points / Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch → June 2023 | No cap | 60,000 | 90,000 |
| July 2023 – Mid 2024 | 15,000 | 60,000 | 90,000 |
| Mid 2024 – Apr, 2026 | 10,000 | 40,000 | 60,000 |
| From 1 May, 2026 | 5,000 | 20,000 | 30,000 |
The annual cap has dropped from 60,000 Green Points to 20,000 Green Points, which is a significant reduction. Given that many Marriott redemptions, especially in metro areas, now cost well over 30,000 Bonvoy points per night, the lowered cap limits the usefulness for larger redemptions.
Why the tighter rules?
Transferring points to Marriott is costlier for ITC than allowing redemptions within its own ecosystem. Increased volume of transfers—partly driven by changes in Axis Bank’s transfer options—has pushed ITC to reduce their exposure by lowering transfer limits. It’s possible that ITC may alter the conversion ratio in future if transfers continue to be costly relative to internal redemptions.
How to Transfer?
To initiate a transfer, follow these steps:
- Ensure your Club ITC account email and mobile number are verified.
- Log in to your Club ITC account, navigate to My Rewards, and choose “CONVERSION TO MARRIOTT BONVOY POINTS.”
- Initiate the transfer. Each transfer request requires a minimum of 2,000 Green Points.
Transfers typically take between one and three weeks to appear in your Marriott Bonvoy account.
Should You Transfer?
Transfer now if you already planned to use Marriott points for a specific redemption. The Q2 2026 window still permits transfers under the previous quarterly cap through 30 April 2026.
If you are new to Marriott Bonvoy, consider holding off. ITC Green Points maintain a predictable value and simple redemption options within the ITC network, while Marriott’s dynamic pricing can make value harder to predict unless you have a clear redemption target.
Bottom Line
The Club ITC to Marriott Bonvoy transfer at a 2:3 ratio remains a compelling option for targeted Marriott redemptions, but shrinking caps reduce its flexibility. If you have Green Points and intend to convert them for Marriott use, act before the new limits take full effect to maximize your options.
