- Stay three paid nights that are booked directly with Marriott during the three-month period and receive Gold status through February 2027
Quick Thoughts
Marriott Gold isn’t the most inspirational of elite statuses; things don’t really start getting good until reaching Platinum, which is the next rung up. Unfortunately, this offer doesn’t give you any sort of fast track past Gold, so you’re still starting from square one to get to the 50 required elite nights for Platinum.
That said, if you have Marriott stays coming up, you might as well register for the offer; it’s better than nothing, especially since you can extend it through all of next year with only three stays. That said, I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way to arrange stays in order to fulfill it.

Going forward, will a typical CSR cardholder also have an Amex Platinum (and thus Gold via it)? Going forward, will a typical CSR cardholder be more likely to book Marriott properties that are Edit-eligible (at thus benefits via it)?
