The $50 Hotel Credit is worth up to $50 per calendar year in a single annual window: the full amount stays claimable until December 31, and an unused balance does not carry into the new year.

When the $50 Hotel Credit resets

The credit resets once per calendar year, with each window closing on December 31. Pointsmiths counts these windows on the calendar year — the same math behind the credit timeline, the expiring view, and the reminder emails — so the one deadline that matters is December 31. Value that is unused when a window closes does not roll over.

Common ways cardholders lose this credit

  • Letting the window close: unused value does not roll over, and each window ends on December 31.
  • Deferring an annual credit to December is the classic failure: the window is generous right up until holiday season swallows it.
  • Not tracking it anywhere: a credit you have to remember is a credit you eventually miss. The credit timeline and the 45-day expiring view exist for exactly this.

Tracking the $50 Hotel Credit

On the Pointsmiths credit timeline this benefit appears as one window per calendar year. Mark a window used when the credit posts and the running total of claimed value updates; leave it unmarked and it surfaces in the expiring view as its deadline approaches, alongside optional email reminders and a calendar feed for the reset dates. Tracking works without an account — sign in only if you want the same list on more than one device.
