- I currently have still 800.000 points in my account I suppose that they still remain valid? And I still can use them? (this is my biggest fear)

- Can you change back to points after I earned the miles.

Thanks again for all your advice.

Your points remain and you can switch back and forth between points and miles as many times as you'd like. I've advised an associate to do his 1 night stays on miles and longer stays on points to maximize both promos. It's a win/win.
