The best way to keep your Bonvoy points from expiring is to stay at any Marriott hotel. Earning or redeeming points at a Marriott hotel is one of the most straightforward ways to keep your account active.

- Make a purchase with a Marriott co-branded credit card at least once every 24 months.
- Transfer points to airline miles. Converting your points to miles or converting miles to points with any of Marriott’s 40+ airline partners will count as a qualifying activity.

- Book a qualifying event or meeting through the Rewarding Events Program.
- Donate points to eligible charitable organizations.
- Purchase points.
