Marriott Bonvoy status lasts for 14 months from the time it is earned, with the status year typically starting on the date the member achieves the required elite night credits. For example, if a member earns Silver Elite status in June 2024, their status will be valid until December 31, 2024, and then it will be extended until December 31, 2025, if they do not earn a higher status.
How does Marriott Bonvoy status work?
Marriott Bonvoy status is earned based on the number of elite night credits a member accumulates in a calendar year. The program has five elite tiers: Silver Elite (10 nights), Gold Elite (25 nights), Platinum Elite (50 nights), Titanium Elite (75 nights), and Ambassador Elite (100 nights and $20,000 in annual spend). Members can earn elite night credits by staying at Marriott properties, using a Marriott credit card, or by participating in other promotional activities.
Earning Elite Night Credits
Elite night credits can be earned through various means, including:
– Staying at Marriott properties: Members earn one elite night credit per night stayed at a Marriott property.
– Using a Marriott credit card: Members can earn elite night credits by using a Marriott credit card, such as the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card, which offers 15 elite night credits per year.
– Promotional activities: Marriott occasionally offers promotional activities that allow members to earn additional elite night credits.
Is Marriott Bonvoy status extended due to COVID-19?
In 2020, Marriott announced that it would extend the status of all members through February 2022, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This extension applied to all members, regardless of their elite status. However, this was a one-time extension, and members are now required to meet the standard elite night credit requirements to maintain or upgrade their status.
How to maintain or upgrade Marriott Bonvoy status?
To maintain or upgrade Marriott Bonvoy status, members must meet the required elite night credit thresholds within a calendar year. For example, to maintain Gold Elite status, a member must earn 25 elite night credits within a calendar year. Members can track their progress towards maintaining or upgrading their status through their online account or the Marriott Bonvoy mobile app.
