Redeeming Omni Select Guest Points
Redeeming your Omni Credits for free nights is fairly straightforward. You need 100 Omni Credits for one free night at any Omni Hotel or resort.
Additionally, when redeeming Free Nights, members also enjoy even greater value as Omni Hotels & Resorts waives Resort Service Charges and Destination Fees. However, some hotels have blackout dates, but most are only a few days per year.
When Do Omni Credit Expire?
Omni Credits expire 36 months after you earn them at the end of the month. Unfortunately, there is no way to extend your Omni Credits. You have to use them or lose them within 36 months after issuance.
