Expiration of Marriott points
 

How strict is Marriott on expiring your points if you have no activity in 24 months. I think my last activity was August of 2005. Web site still lists my points. Does that mean I have until the end of September?

The T&C's state that it is Marriott's discretion to close an account if no activity is posted during a 2 year period. However, I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone whose account had been closed because of inactivity.

I had a small number of points from about 4 years ago, then no activity at all until recently. My account and points were unaffected.

My wife used to travel a lot back in the early to mid 90's. She didn't have any activity for about 10 or so years, when I found her old Marquis membership card. When I checked her account, she still had all her points and we were able to use them.

So while Marriott reserves the right to close out inactive accounts, it doesn't look like they are doing so at the moment. But if you have a significant amount of points, I wouldn't personally cross my fingers and hope they don't close my account. I would suggest you either use a few points, or do something to get more points. One easy way would be to apply for a Marriott CC. If you already have one, use it.
