Register For Marriott Bonvoy Status Challenge

For a limited time, you can register in a status challenge to get a Marriott Bonvoy Elite status.

To be eligible, you must have an Elite status in one of these programs:

Marriott Bonvoy members will immediately receive either Gold or Platinum Bonvoy status.

And to maintain this status until February 2022, you will have to take part in a challenge:

Stay 5 nights within 90 days to maintain Gold Elite status
Stay 15 nights within 90 days to maintain Platinum Elite status

Several things to note:

You must be a member of Marriott Bonvoy to register for the status challenge
The 90-day period begins when the member is officially upgraded
It is recommended to register soon because the number of registrations will determine how long the status challenge will be available
Eligibility requires uploading proof of corresponding elite status in one of the four competitor programs and at least one stay in the prior 12 months from the registration date at a participating property in that program

Eligible Competitor Status

Here are the eligible status levels from Marriott Bonvoy’s competing programs:

Program	Competitor status	Marriott Bonvoy Status
Accor Live Limitless	Gold	Gold
Accor Live Limitless	Platinum/Diamond	Platinum
Hilton Honors	Gold/Diamond	Platinum
IHG Rewards Club	Platinum / Spire	Platinum
World of Hyatt	Explorist	Gold
World of Hyatt	Globalist	Platinum

The St Regis Kuala Lumpur — The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur - Surclassement

Conclusion

This is a great offer from Marriott Bonvoy. You can register here.

In my opinion, Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status should be the one for which you should make the status challenge. Indeed, it brings much more value than Gold Elite status with complimentary breakfasts and upgrades at most Marriott Bonvoy hotels.
