Status tiers available for match
- Marriott Gold (mid-tier)
- Marriott Platinum (via Challenge)
- Marriott Titanium (rare)
Challenge requirements
Challenge typically requires 10-16 nights in 90 days (varies by tier being matched).

FAQ
How does the Marriott status challenge work?
Complete 16 paid nights in 90 consecutive days for Platinum, or fewer nights for Gold. Challenge must be accepted first; then nights count toward status. The Chase Marriott cards can give a 15 Elite Night Credits boost.
