Redeeming
Do Incentive Awards have expiration dates?
TravelCards have no expiration date. All other Incentive Awards have a 15 month expiration date from the time of purchase.
Does the full value of the TravelCard need to be redeemed at once?
The Marriott TravelCard is designed to carry a balance. For this reason, any value that is not redeemed on a single use will remain on the TravelCard to be applied to a future use. For Marriott Cheques however, no change will be given back for the unused portion.
How can I check my Marriott TravelCard Balance?
You’ll need to register your card at gifts.marriott.com. Once registered, balances may be checked and if the card is lost, it will be replaced.

Why am I required to provide my credit card number to reserve a Stay Award reservation?
Every Marriott reservation must be secured via credit card. A credit card is also required at check-in to cover the cost of incidentals such as long distance calls and meals. The cost of the room stay will be covered by your valid Award and not charged to your credit card.
