Omni Hotels & Resorts is a very niche brand with a tiny footprint. Founded in 1958, the company operates 51 properties in Canada and the United States — making it one of the smallest hotel brands around. Omni Hotels' loyalty program, Select Guest, lets you earn and redeem “Omni Credits” for stays and on-property spending.
Unlike most hotel loyalty programs, point expiration here doesn’t depend on account activity. Instead, Omni Credits have a fixed lifespan from the date they’re issued — whether you’re a frequent guest or just an occasional visitor. Here's how the Omni Hotel Select Guest Points expiration rule works — and how to stay on top of it.
Do Omni Hotels Select Guest Credits Expire?
Omni Hotels Select Guest Credits have a fixed expiration policy, expiring 36 months after they are issued. Per the Omni Hotels Select Guest FAQ page:
“Omni Credits will be valid for 36 months after their date of issue.”
There is no way to extend the validity of your Omni Credits. In addition, once expired, there is no way to reinstate your expired Hotels Select Guest Credits.

- Select Guest Members and Insiders earn 5 Omni Credits for each qualifying night.
- Select Champions and Icons earn 10 Omni Credits for each qualifying night.

Use AwardWallet to Track Omni Select Guest Credits Expiration
36 months gives you plenty of time to use your credits. But, with credits expiring based on when they were earned instead of based on activity, it can be easy to lose track of when your Omni Credits expire. That is why it pays to keep a close eye on your Omni Select Guest Credits so expiration does not creep up on you. The easiest and best way to do so is by using AwardWallet. That way, you will receive a timely reminder if you have any points in danger of expiration, allowing you to take action.
To add your Omni Select Guest account to AwardWallet, simply log in to your account and link your Omni Select Guest account. AwardWallet will notify you before your credits are set to expire.

Our Take
Omni’s fixed 36-month expiration window may seem more generous than many loyalty programs, but it also leaves no room for error. Once credits hit their expiration date, they’re gone for good. If you stay with Omni regularly, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to use them. But if your visits are sporadic, it’s easy for credits to quietly expire in the background.
The safest approach? Track your balance and expiration dates, plan redemptions in advance, and let tools like AwardWallet give you a heads-up before it’s too late. That way, every credit you earn gets turned into an actual stay, upgrade, or on-property perk — not a missed opportunity.
