It\u2019s time to review your points balance for 2025!<\/p>\n

Your valuable points and elite statuses earned through credit cards, rewards programs, or promotional offers can mean significant savings or future opportunities for unforgettable travel. But without careful attention, it would be a real shame to see them lose value or slip through the cracks. <\/p>\n

Here’s a practical guide to optimizing your points and end-of-year offers before it’s too late.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Marriott Bonvoy” el_id=”marriott_bonvoy”][vc_custom_heading text=”Achieving a Higher Status” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” el_id=”achieving_a_higher_status”][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

First of all, look at your account. Do you have a few more nights to complete before you reach the next Marriott Bonvoy Elite status<\/a>?<\/p>\n

If so, you can book a stay at a Marriott Bonvoy hotel<\/a>. Note that a check-in on December 31 counts as an elite night for 2025, even if your departure is on January 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

If you pay in cash, don’t forget our tips and tricks for paying less<\/a>.<\/p>\n
