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 Alaska miles expire?
No. Alaska dropped its 24-month inactivity rule in April 2023, and under the renamed Atmos Rewards program the terms state points have no expiration date and may remain in an account indefinitely. An idle Alaska balance is safe, so the only real risk to it is program devaluation.
GuideDo Chase points expire?
No. Chase Ultimate Rewards points do not expire while the card account they sit in stays open, and there is no inactivity clock. Closing the card forfeits them, so move them to another Ultimate Rewards card or redeem them before you close it; an account Chase closes for missed payments forfeits them too.
ToolWhat are Marriott points worth?
A Marriott Bonvoy point is typically worth about 0.73 cents, where the published valuations cluster after the 2026 devaluation, so 50,000 points come to roughly $365. Low-category rooms land nearer 0.6 cents and high-end properties around 0.89 cents. The calculator converts any balance into dollars, pounds and euros.
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.

ToolWhat are Alaska miles worth?
An Alaska Atmos Rewards point, formerly a Mileage Plan mile, is typically worth about 1.5 cents, so 50,000 points come to roughly $750. Domestic economy lands nearer 1.25 cents, and business class on Alaska's oneworld partners around 1.8 cents. The calculator converts any Alaska balance into dollars, pounds and euros at all three rates.
ComparisonMarriott Bonvoy vs Hilton Honors
A Marriott Bonvoy point is worth more than a Hilton Honors point — about 0.73 cents against 0.4, per the published US valuations — so a Hilton balance has to be roughly twice the size to buy the same night. Both expire after 24 consecutive months of inactivity. Compare a specific night in cents per point, not balances.
ComparisonChase vs Amex points
Pick the currency whose exclusive partners you will use. Chase alone reaches United, Southwest, World of Hyatt, IHG and Wyndham; Amex alone reaches Delta, ANA, Cathay Pacific, Qatar, Emirates and Hilton, with 16 US airlines to Chase's 10. Both move points 1:1 to Avios, Flying Blue, Aeroplan, Singapore and Virgin, and neither expires while its card stays open.
