Can a hotel cancel an upcoming points reservation at their hotel for me? Does this apply to Marriott hotels as well as Starwood hotels? For Marriott , need the cancellation be at least a week in advance if I do not have the points in my account so that they don’t convert it to a cash booking and charge my credit card?

these me would be for early August bookings in Europe, when the transition may be taking place . I don’t currently know if I will want these bookings, but will be staying at both hotels slightly earlier on bookings that I will be keeping.


for Starwood I should be able to cancel online, imagine it is the same at Marriott, just less familiar with their website,

asking just as a backup.

thank you
