Rewards program transfer times (e.g. SPG -> Aeroplan, Marriott -> SPG, Amex MR -> SPG, etc.)
Thought it would be useful for people to aggregate this info in one spot.
Start off with a few data points ...
Examples of data points to contribute, anything missing below or anything else you think of ...
Amex Membership Rewards (MRs):
US Amex Membership Rewards (MRs):
Marriott Rewards Points (MRPs):

Start off with a few data points ...
- Marriott <-> SPG: instant [as of Nov 2016]
- SPG <-> SPG (at same address): up to 5 days reported, 1 business day (3 calendar days) actual [as of Nov 2016]
Examples of data points to contribute, anything missing below or anything else you think of ...
Amex Membership Rewards (MRs):
- MR -> SPG: next morning, 1 day, 4 days, 3days [as of Nov-Dec 2016, sources: coleworld, Flitox, Elfwood, neverless]
- 2:1 transfer ratio, minimum 1,000 MR, increment 100, "Estimated transfer time: 5 business days" [official source] - MR -> Aeroplan: instant, ~30 minutes [as of Nov 2016, sources: jerryhung, DefconZero]
- 1:1 transfer ratio, minimum 1,000 MR, increment 100, "Estimated transfer time: up to 30 minutes" [official source] - MR -> Avios: 6 days, but also 2 sources for 36-48 hours (shows up 2nd day by 11pm), and another "6 business days" [as of Dec 2016, source: bemat786, as of Jan 2017, source: Nimbusplane plus offline source, 6 business days Raven_007]
- '2nd day at 1am' (ET?) If so could be same as "by 11pm" (PT?) source above making it 25-49 hours Nimbusplane post #88 - MR -> other
- MR -> US MR (see below): ??? <- curious about this one
US Amex Membership Rewards (MRs):
- US MR -> CDN MR: 2 days after agent contacts you by phone to confirm [source: sahiljain22]
- US MR -> SPG
- US MR -> Aeroplan
- US MR -> Avios
- US MR -> other
Marriott Rewards Points (MRPs):
- MRP -> SPG: instant [as of Nov 2016, source: OP]
- 3:1 ratio, 1,000 MRP minimum transfer size and increment - MRP -> Aeroplan (via the hotel+flight combos, or otherwise)
4-8 days for travel package, possibly "following Tuesday" [source: joeags post #34] - MRP -> Avios, etc (at a quick glance, these appear to suck compared to SPG->partners with 25% bonus for 20k redemption increments, e.g. 25k Avios cost 70k MRP, but 60k MRP would get you 20k SPG which gets you the same 25k Avios)
- MRP -> United: 1 business day [as of Dec 2016, sources: sahiljain22 post #29, neverless post #42]

- SPG -> SPG (at same address): up to 5 days reported, 1 business day (3 calendar days) actual [as of Nov 2016, source: OP]

- 1:3 ratio, 1,000 SPG minimum transfer size and increment - SPG -> Aeroplan: 4 days (10pm ET of the 4th day) [source: crimsona post #81]
