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

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.
