Ugh, I have lost count of how many hotel reward points I've lost over the years because I forget they expire. Are there any brands or programs whose rewards don't expire?

Marriott Bonvoy points don’t expire. I have 3M points that I just started using when I retired this year after 15+ years of business travel. I won’t have to pay for a hotel or STR for the rest of my life. In addition to hotels, I can use my points on Marriott Homes & Villas which are many of the same props listed on Airbnb and VRBO.

Makes sense D1. Good plan!

Why not use something like award wallet to track expiring points?

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
