Marriott points expiring
« on: January 08, 2017, 04:59:49 AM »
Have 25k expiring soon,  anyone know best way to extend them these days? I believe they changed the terms where earning or transferring points doesn't extend, only hotel stays will extend CMIIW.
thanks

You can buy 1k points for $12.50 or try to find the cheapest thing they sell in their merchandise shop. Idk if shopping portal works.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

According to post seemed the person had to call marriott to get points reinstated?

Also in that case would a transfer back and forth work as well?

does booking and cancelling a room count as activity with bonvoy?
