Choose Your Marriott Bonvoy Elite Benefits for 2025

Marriott Bonvoy™ Annual Choice Benefits

Marriott Bonvoy offers Platinum, Titanium and Ambassador Elite members the opportunity to select benefits for the coming year.

These benefits are in addition to those automatically accessible, such as complimentary breakfasts or upgrades. The deadline to choose your benefits is February 1, 2026.

To achieve these status levels, you need to have stayed at least 50 Elite nights (Platinum) or 75 nights (Titanium and Ambassador) during the year. However, you don’t need to have stayed that many nights:

See our guide to Marriott Bonvoy status to find out how reaching a status can help you save money, earn more points and enhance your experience when staying at Marriott Bonvoy hotels.

For Platinum Elite Members

As a Platinum Elite member, with at least 50 eligible nights in the previous year, you can choose from several annual Marriott Bonvoy benefits:

What was previously known as “Suite Upgrade Awards” is now called “Nightly Upgrade Awards,” a term that refers to upgrades in general and not just suites.

For Titanium Elite Members

As a Titanium Elite member, meaning you have earned at least 75 eligible nights in the previous year, you can make a second selection from these Annual Choice Benefits offered by Marriott Bonvoy:

Choose Your Benefits

To make your benefit selection, you must log in to your Marriott Bonvoy account on this page before February 1, 2026. A popup will appear explaining how many benefits you can select.

Here’s the one for Platinum Elite members:

You will then be invited to choose from the available benefits based on your status:

Members who have reached Titanium Elite status can select a second benefit. The list includes the same options as the first benefit, with the addition of these two choices:

Please note that you have until February 1, 2026, to make your selection.

For Titanium Elite members, it might be worthwhile to wait until January 1, 2026 to make your second selection.

Take Jean-Maximilien, for example, who already has upgrades in his Marriott Bonvoy account, chosen as his first benefit. He felt there was no need to add any more at this time. Especially since it’s often possible to negotiate via chat to get an upgrade without using these credits!

What about the 5 Elite Nights? Personally, I barely reached Platinum status at the end of December 2024, so it was clear that these credits would not allow me to reach Titanium status. In 2025, I did not reach Gold status, but thanks to Marriott Bonvoy’s “soft landing” policy, I know that my status will change from Platinum to Gold in February 2026.

Regarding Jean-Maximilien, he had 30 Elite Nights from January 1, thanks to his Canadian and American credit cards. And he added a sufficient number of nights during the double Elite Nights promotion to reach the 75-night threshold.

Please note that even if the 5 Elite Nights are selected in January 2026, these credits apply only to the year 2025 and therefore cannot contribute to achieving status in 2026.

Analyze your needs before chasing a status:

As for the second selection available to Titanium and Ambassador members, there’s no hesitation for Jean-Maximilien: he’ll choose the Free Night Award worth up to 40,000 points.

This was an easy choice, considering that Gold Elite status is accessible by holding the American Express Platinum Card^®, for example. Here too, it is more relevant to make your choice between January 1 and February 1, 2026, knowing that this certificate will then be valid until December 31, 2027 (and not 2026 if chosen in 2025)!

Bottom Line

If you do not make a selection before February 1, 2026, you will automatically receive five Nightly Upgrade Awards for each of the Platinum, Titanium, and Ambassador Elite benefits.
