Status Matching With Marriott Bonvoy<\/span><\/h2>\n
Airline and hotel programs occasionally offer status matches to elite members of other loyalty programs to entice them to switch their loyalty, starting to fly or stay with a different program instead.<\/p>\n
While Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> doesn't offer competitor status matching as some other hotel programs do, it does “match” status from its airline partner programs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marriott Bonvoy has had a long-standing partnership with United Airlines' MileagePlus program<\/a>. As long as you hold Premier Gold status or higher with United MileagePlus, you can status match to Marriott<\/a> and obtain Marriott Bonvoy Gold status. Marriott and United's partnership also works in reverse: If you have Titanium status or higher at Marriott, you can status match to United<\/a> and get United MileagePlus Premier Silver status<\/a>.<\/p>\n
United Airlines Mileage Plus members with Gold status or above can match to Marriott status.<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n Status matching to Marriott Bonvoy from Singapore KrisFlyer<\/span><\/h3>\n
Marriott has partnered with Singapore Airlines<\/a> to offer a reciprocal status match for Marriott Bonvoy and Singapore KrisFlyer members.<\/p>\n
Currently, Singapore Airlines PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold<\/strong> status holders can obtain Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status<\/a> just by registering and linking their accounts. Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status<\/a> can also be obtained after staying 10 qualifying nights in Marriott properties.<\/p>\n
KrisFlyer Elite Silver<\/strong> members can also participate, though the benefits are far less compelling. Those members are eligible for Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status<\/a> after completing three qualifying nights. However, Marriott Silver status comes with fairly limited perks, so the real value here is likely for travelers who can take advantage of the complimentary Gold status or the Platinum status challenge.<\/p>\n
Status is valid for 1 year after signing up for the status match promotion above. Status holders are eligible to renew their status with Marriott Bonvoy by either staying 25 nights to maintain Gold status for the following year or 10 nights to maintain Silver status.<\/p>\n

Although not necessarily a status match promotion, Marriott Bonvoy and Emirates Skywards have a partnership<\/a> that enables Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold members to enjoy some elite perks at Marriott stays. Benefits are a 4 p.m. late checkout, the ability to use the Bonvoy elite check-in lane at hotels, and complimentary Wi-Fi at Marriott properties. However, Emirates Skywards Platinum and Gold members do not gain Marriott status from this partnership.<\/p>\n
Earning Marriott Bonvoy Status With a Status Challenge<\/span><\/h2>\n
What if you do not have status with Singapore KrisFlyer or United MileagePlus but still want to be a status holder with Marriott Bonvoy?<\/p>\n
Marriott also offers an unpublished status challenge to Bonvoy members. Just call Marriott Bonvoy at 800-627-7468<\/strong> and ask for a status challenge. If approved for a status challenge, you will earn the following level of status after staying the required number of paid nights (not award nights) within the following three calendar months, plus the remainder of the current month:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Marriott Bonvoy Gold status:<\/strong> Stay eight paid nights.<\/li>\n
- Marriott Bonvoy Platinum status: <\/strong>Stay 16 paid nights.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Because the Marriott Bonvoy Status Challenge is valid for the remainder of the month that you called in, followed by three additional months, we recommend calling Marriott Bonvoy earlier in the month to have more time to complete a status challenge.<\/p>\n
If you are able to successfully complete the challenge, you will retain that status for the remainder of the current membership year as well as the entire next membership year. However, you can only complete a status challenge once every three years. So, be sure to request it when you are certain you will be able to meet the required stays.<\/p>\n
Marriott Bonvoy Elite Status Shortcuts<\/span><\/h2>\n
If you are not eligible for Marriott's status match promotions with airlines and won't meet the requirements of a status challenge, you can still get Marriott Bonvoy elite status by holding a credit card that offers Marriott Bonvoy status as a perk.<\/p>\n
Earn Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status with the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant\u00ae<\/sup> American Express\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/span><\/h3>\n
As Marriott Bonvoy's flagship card, the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant\u00ae<\/sup> American Express\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/a> provides Platinum Elite status to its cardmembers. This level of status typically requires earning 50 elite nights (or 16 paid nights from the status challenge above), making it a very valuable card perk.<\/p>\n
The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card has an annual fee of $650 (Rates & Fees<\/a>). In addition to Marriott Platinum status, it also provides an annual free night certificate worth up to 85,000 points and a $25 monthly dining credit. Enrollment is required for select Amex benefits.<\/p>\n
