Elite Status Qualification Strategies
Credit Card Nights
Many hotel credit cards offer automatic elite status or qualifying night credits. The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card provides 15 elite nights and Gold status, while the Hilton Aspire card comes with Diamond status.
Status Challenges
Several programs offer status challenges that require fewer nights than standard qualification. Marriott often has 8-night Gold and 16-night Platinum challenges.
Promotions
Watch for promotions that offer double elite nights or bonus points. These can significantly reduce the effort needed to qualify for status.
Strategic Stays
Plan stays at brands that offer better point earnings or when promotions are active. Consider mattress runs for the final nights needed.
