What keeps points alive
A member with no qualifying activity for 18 consecutive calendar months loses all points and the account goes inactive. Earning or redeeming points (a points-eligible stay, a redemption, a partner earning, buying points) pushes the date back; a reward-night stay or registering for a promotion does not count. Elite members (Gold and above) are exempt while they hold status; after losing it, the date is set 18 months out. Expired points can be reinstated for a fee within 180 days, up to 1,000,000 points.
