Rick,
Even if you are earning miles on your Marriott Rewards account, you are still entitled to the 5,000 bonus points (provided you are approved for the card). These points will remain on your account until you have enough to to redeem them.
Once you have at least 10,000 Marriott Reward points, they can be converted into BA miles. You can also use them towards other rewarding options such as free stays, car rentals, and much more. For more information check out MarriottRewards.com or click on the link below.
