Starting February 1, 2016, members who do not have qualifying activity in the prior 24 months will forfeit all accumulated points. If you have not engaged in qualifying activity since January 31, 2014 you have until January 31, 2016 to do so before the policy is enforced.

Some examples of qualifying activity to maintain active status in the Marriott Rewards program include:

Make a paid (or redemption) stay at any of our 3,800+ participating hotels worldwide
Redeem points
Make a purchase using a Marriott Rewards credit card
Earn points with one of our program partners
Purchase points
Hold a qualifying meeting or event, including earning points through the Rewarding Events Program
The following activities do not count toward maintaining an active status in the Marriott Rewards program:
Gifting or transferring points
Receiving points as a gift or transfer
Earning points through social media programs, such as #MRPoints
For full details and our updated terms, please visit MarriottRewards.com/PointsPolicy.

One additional reminder: 2015 hotel category changes have been announced. You can learn more about the changes at Program News.

As usual it becomes less and lees attractive to give all your business to 1 airline or 1 Hotel chain.  They just keep devaluing the points and taking away the benefits.

 

I have scratched both DL and UA off my list and will use them to get my free flights and once those points are gone then just the best deal coupled with the best service and it may change every trip.

 

Loyalty is no longer appreciated!!
