Update: Well, that was quick. CitizenM has already closed applications for its status match. Here are other ways to earn Marriott elite status<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

CitizenM is a chic hotel brand that may not be top of mind for award travelers, but maybe it should be. Why now? The Netherlands-based hospitality group, which operates 36 hotels across more than 20 cities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, has just been acquired by Marriott<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While details are still limited on how and when Marriott Bonvoy<\/a> will integrate with mycitizenM+ \u2014 CitizenM\u2019s loyalty program \u2014 now might be the perfect time to complete a free status match<\/a>. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n
