Heads up, Marriott Bonvoy members! Nobody wants their hard-earned points to disappear, and Marriott makes it pretty easy to prevent that from happening. Unlike some other programs with stricter rules, Marriott points expire only if you have no activity in your account for 24 months.

So, what counts as activity? Earning points by staying at a Marriott hotel, using a Marriott Bonvoy credit card, or even transferring points in or out of your account will reset the expiration clock. Redeeming points for free nights or other rewards also keeps your account active. The main takeaway is to make sure you have some kind of activity within a 24-month period. Set a calendar reminder if you need to!

Why does this matter? Because Marriott points can unlock some amazing travel experiences, from luxurious hotel stays to unforgettable adventures. A little bit of planning is all you need to ensure you don't lose out on those rewards. Keep an eye on your account activity, and happy travels!
