The program has two tiers: a general member level (mycitizenM) and a paid level (mycitizenM+).<\/p>\n<p>The general member level offers simple perks, such as a best price guarantee, exclusive member deals, and full use of the citizenM app.<\/p>\n<p>The tier above the general level is more interesting because you can't earn it via completing a certain number of stays. You pay for it annually. Or, if you take advantage of the active status match campaign, you can get a year's worth of the following perks for free:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>15% off all stays.<\/li>\n<li>Free welcome drink with all app bookings.<\/li>\n<li>Free late check-out at 2 pm.<\/li>\n<li>Free premium view (at hotels with premium view).<\/li>\n<li>15% off food and drink (except breakfast).<\/li>\n<li>Guaranteed room (48-hours notice).<\/li>\n<li>15% off meeting rooms.<\/li>\n<li>Access to free-to-use co-working spaces.<\/li>\n<li>Early access to member sales.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ordinarily, a mycitizenM+ membership costs $120, \u00a390, or \u20ac100 upfront for a year.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_To_Get_a_Complimentary_Year_of_mycitizenM_Perks_via_Status_Match\">How To Get a Complimentary Year of mycitizenM+ Perks via Status Match<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before paying for the perks of mycitizenM+, it's worth taking them for a test drive.
