Do Marriott Bonvoy points expire?

You can typically redeem a free hotel stay by redeeming 5,000 to 95,000 points, depending on the property and location. Marriott uses a dynamic pricing system, so the number of points required may vary depending on where and when you search for a room.

Can I transfer points from other Chase cards to Marriott Bonvoy?

- Chase Sapphire Preferred
- Chase Sapphire Reserve
- Chase Freedom Unlimited
- Chase Freedom Flex
Rewards cards dos and don'ts
As with any rewards credit card, be sure to weigh these benefits against fees — a $150 annual fee in this case — and make sure you understand how to use the card effectively. That said, $95 may be more than offset by those maxing out the benefits.
In addition, while reward credit cards are great if you use them wisely, always pay them off in full and on time each month to avoid interest, which can dwarf any rewards you earn. Don't change your spending habits to earn extra points. That's a slippery slope that can lead to overspending.
If this is your first foray into credit cards, or you just want a refresher, make sure you know how to choose a credit card. And ensure you are familiar with what counts as a good credit score.
