Switching between points/miles
Hi Experts,
I have read on several forums that Marriott offers this possibility and now that I am unable to pay my next stays with visa I considering to switch my preference to miles (to earn the 30.000 extra miles).
Now couple of questions I have:
- 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.
Regards
