Do Marriott points expire?
Yes. Marriott Bonvoy points expire after 24 consecutive months of account inactivity. Any qualifying activity — a stay, a card purchase that earns points, or a points transfer — resets the 24-month clock on the whole balance. There is no fixed expiry date, so an active account never loses points to time.
GuideDo Hilton points expire?
Yes. Hilton Honors points expire after 24 consecutive months without eligible activity — the rule was 12 months until Hilton doubled the window. Any stay, card spend or points purchase resets the clock on the whole balance. Points never expire on a date; only inactivity loses them.
GuideDo IHG points expire?
Yes. IHG One Rewards points expire after 12 months with no account activity — the shortest window among the major hotel programs. Any earning or redemption resets it. IHG Elite members and IHG One Rewards Premier cardholders, who hold Platinum Elite, are exempt and keep their points regardless.
GuideDo Delta miles expire?
No. Delta SkyMiles do not expire and there is no inactivity clock — Delta's own program rules state miles never expire. The catch is value rather than time: SkyMiles are priced dynamically against cash fares, so a balance held for years quietly buys less as fares and award prices rise.
GuideHow to earn Marriott points
Marriott Bonvoy members earn 10 points per $1 at most of its hotels — 5 at Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites and Element — plus an elite bonus from 10% for Silver to 75% for Titanium and Ambassador. Marriott's co-brand cards earn up to 6 points per $1 at Marriott, and US Amex, Chase and Bilt points transfer in at 1:1.
GuideBilt transfer partners
Bilt Rewards has the widest transfer list of any US card currency: nineteen airlines and seven hotels, almost all at 1:1. It is the only program reaching American, Alaska, Southwest and United alongside all four major hotels, Hilton, IHG, Marriott and Hyatt. Only Accor (3:2) and Preferred Hotels (1:2) differ.
GuideHow to earn Delta miles
Delta SkyMiles members earn 5 miles per $1 on Delta fares, rising to 7, 8, 9 and 11 with Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond Medallion status; Basic Economy earns none. Partner-airline flights earn by distance and cabin, American Express points transfer in at 1:1 and Marriott points at 3:1, and dining, Uber and shopping add more.
GuideDo Nectar points expire?
Not on a date, but you can still lose them. Nectar points carry no expiry date, yet Nectar may close an account with no points earned or spent for 12 months in a row — and the points are lost with it. Scanning your Nectar card or app at Sainsbury's, Argos or eBay once a year keeps the balance safe.
