All 5 levels of Marriott Bonvoy elite status explained | Benefits and how to earn Marriott status 

Update Jan 2023: Ambassador status now requires you to spend $23,000 at Marriott hotels. The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card from American Express now gives complimentary Platinum status and 25 elite night credits instead of 15.

Good stuff Arden, thanks! Lots more easy than trying to figure it out online. I especially like you showing the difference between you and your dads (1 category higher) status, especially the upgrade pics - good job.

Thanks for the info!!

Great video! Well explained.

Very informative. Thank you

Great video!

Brilliant card is worth it! I highly value the free breakfast, lounge access, room upgrades, and late checkout that comes with the complimentary Platinum. I’m working on Titanium this year since I’m still traveling for business until December. Great video, by the way!!

Hi , can you explain more about the airline perk please . How does that work with the Titanium status for Marriott?

I am a lifetime Titanium Elite member for Marriott. I can say that I am disappointed at the least. It might be a US thing where you mention traveling overseas, I do not do that. I seldom get upgraded to a suite, a pool view, or river view, or city view is a normal upgrade, but its the same room type with just a different room location. Often my upgrade is "not on the freeway" side of the hotel, unless they are fairly full, then I get whatever room they give me. A arrival gift is typically nothing more than a bottle of water. If the hotel has breakfast in a restaurant, sometimes I get a breakfast voucher, but that is hit or miss also. The annual "suite" upgrades are a joke. I have never been given a room different than what I would have received without the voucher, I just use the voucher to get the guarantee?... Recently I requested a suite upgrade, they didn't have it, and I didn't get my vouchers back. When I questioned someone at Marriott about getting them back, they said they were returned to my account which is untrue as I have the info and they removed the rewards from my account and I did not get them back. This has happened more than once. Not to mention other issues at hotels where being a lifetime titanium elite member means nothing...

There is another Marriott status called Cobalt…..but that status is hard to get because Marriott Leadership has to invite someone to get that particular status.

Hi there! Could I ask one thing about elite night?? I have a marriott bonvoy amex from japan. My account will be earn 15 elite night. And I want to make one more card from Korea. (Marriott shinhan card) then could I take more 15 elite nights??😮

What kind of lounge access? Airport lounges access or Mariott ‘ s lounges ?

I just reached Ambassador. How do I connect United with Marriott to obtain Silver?

Anyone had to deal with the reservation guarantee benefit? As a platinum member it says I should receive $100 + 90k points and my local stay paid for. I talked to hotel manager and she said yes that’s correct and someone from corporate would contact me and it’s been 2 weeks with no response.

So I just got Gold status. Do I have to do anything to maintain it?

I have platinum status from having Amex Bonvoy Brilliant card. I will reach 50 elite nights (25 elite nights from having Brilliant card) in August which will qualify as a platinum member. If I cancel the Brilliant card in Nov-Dec, will I still maintain the Platinum status next year (2024)? Or lose the platinum status right away? I just opened the Chase Bonvoy boundless.

What's a suite night

After you spend 20K they should give you the whole hotel for free

I was gold elite and now went down to silver elite. I’m not sure why this happened
