When Marriott acquired citizenM in 2025, MycitizenM+ quietly became one of the cheapest ways to earn Marriott Bonvoy\u00ae<\/sup> Gold Elite Status<\/a>. That shortcut is now closing.<\/p>\n

Marriott has told members that the $170-a-year MycitizenM+ subscription<\/a> will no longer be available to purchase or renew as of November 17, 2026<\/strong>, as the company moves the brand fully into Marriott Bonvoy. Here is what we know so far and what happens to current members.<\/p>\n

Marriott Is Ending the MycitizenM+ Membership \u2014 What Happens Next?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Marriott announced its plan to acquire the citizenM brand on April 28, 2025. At the time, citizenM operated 36 hotels across more than 20 cities in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, with three more under construction.\u00a0The deal closed in July 2025, and the integration moved unusually fast.<\/p>\n

By November 20, 2025, every citizenM property was bookable on Marriott.com and in the Bonvoy app, earning 10 Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar for base members plus one Elite Night Credit per night. Each citizenM hotel is still owned and operated by the former citizenM parent company, now renamed Another Star, under long-term franchise agreements with Marriott.<\/p>\n

MyCitizenM+ is a subscription product that gives you exclusive citizenM perks, like a 15% discount on direct bookings and free co-working. When Marriott acquired citizenM, this subscription product added Marriott Gold Elite status as a benefit. However, this affordable loophole to get Marriott status is closing.<\/p>\n

Current subscribers received an email announcing that Marriott will sunset the MycitizenM+ membership as it further integrates citizenM into Marriott Bonvoy. Starting November 17, 2026<\/b>, you will no longer be able to purchase or renew MycitizenM+ memberships. However, any annual membership set to auto-renew on or before November 16 will renew as usual for one last year.<\/p>\n

Marriott hasn't said anything will replace the subscription, and it's doubtful anything will. If your renewal date falls after November 17, you should expect the membership to lapse at the end of your current term.<\/p>\n
