Re: Marriott Going to Point Syst (by Thomas N.):

Rick, Regarding my comment on the expiration of the points, maybe I did not make myself clear. I was not referring to not reserving or using your week. What I was referring to is the fact that once you have decided to convert your unit for the new points (and they are in your account), you must decide by the end of April what year to use them. For example, you said you have 2,200 points left in your account. You must decide by the end of April whether to use then in 2011 or 2012. If you have done nothing with them by May1, then they can only be used for 2011. At the end of 2011 if you have not used then, they are lost.

This is a nuance in the new system that certainly can be managed, but many people are not aware of it.
