Long Live Points Advance

RIP Points Advance — I loved the flexibility you offered.

It’s the end of an era: this was my last Points Advance reservation, covered once my 125,000-point credit card Sign-Up Bonus posted.

I always valued the flexibility that Points Advance allowed. Due to my heavy work travel schedule, I was consistently able to forecast my points accruals months in advance. With that visibility and Points Advance reservations, I could plan, book, and lock in award room inventory before points posted.

With Marriott retiring the feature, booking strategies for award travel shifted toward having points banked ahead of time.
