I lost over 40,000 points
I lost over 40,000 points, after being a Marriott member for several years. Their policy states you need activity every 24 months. I had my hotel stay paid for by a company in July, 2023. My prior stay at a Marriott must have been about a year earlier. Upon staying at another Marriott in August, 2024 I was informed I had no bonvoy points. Researching what happened, asking if I provided bar/restaurant bills I paid while in the hotel (in July, 2023) to reinstate my points I was informed, "No, because the stay was not within the past 12 months we cannot allow you to challenge/get credit for your spend/points." I asked, "How was I supposed to know my prior stay wasn't receiving points and my customer number wasn't used?" Their reply was that the Bonvoy statement shares when points expire. Who gets a Bonvoy statement periodically? I don't! Why didn't someone alert me, as most companies do, that my hard-earned points were about to expire over a year ago? I will be avoiding Marriott hotels moving forward. To consciously attempt to garner/save points over a couple decades of business travel and have them expire because someone didn't enter my number upon my check in and/or having my hotel stay paid for by a company is ridiculous!
