Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst

By the way, just want to mention, the "new point" will only last 2 years in your account (current year points can be used one year in advance and to the end of current year). If you don't use it, It vanishes. How nice!! In reference to to the above comment, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU KNOW THAT EVEN THOUGH THE "NEW POINTS" WILL ONLY LAST 2 YEARS IN YOUR ACCOUNT, THIS IS VERY MISLEADING. IN REALITY, YOU MUST DECIDE BY THE END OF APRIL WHETHER TO USE YOUR POINTS FOR THAT SAME YEAR, OR TRANSFER THEM INTO THE NEXT YEAR. In other words, if for example, you have 3,000 points at the beginning of 2011. You must decide by the end of April to either use them for 2011, or transfer them to 2012. If you do not transfer them to 2012, you must use them for 2011, or lose them. My guess is that Marriott designed this so many points will go unused.
