The Chase Sapphire Reserve card has brought back a popular promotion for its members, offering three months of complimentary Gold Elite status with Marriott Bonvoy and the chance to extend it through February 2028 by completing three eligible paid nights.
Cardmembers can enroll in this Gold Elite status offer by visiting the benefits dashboard on the Chase website between July 1 and September 30. Once enrolled, they will receive the status for three months from the enrollment date, with the perks including enhanced room upgrades, late checkout, and bonus Marriott Bonvoy points on eligible stays.
However, to keep the Gold Elite status through February 2028, cardmembers must complete at least three paid nights on qualifying rates during their three-month status trial period. It's essential to note that nights redeemed with free night awards or Marriott points will not qualify for this promotion.
The period during which cardmembers can stay three nights to qualify for Gold Elite status through February 2028 is based on when they enroll in the promotion. It's recommended that they time their registration to coincide with when they can stay at Marriott properties.
This offer is not beneficial for those who already have Gold Elite or higher status, so only cardmembers with no status or Silver Elite status should enroll in this offer.
For those who don't stay frequently at Marriott properties, this offer is worth considering. However, earning and maintaining Marriott elite status via other credit cards is also easy. For example, the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card, Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card, and American Express Platinum Card offer Gold Elite status as an ongoing perk.
Additionally, cardmembers can earn up to 40 elite night credits per year from up to one personal and one business Marriott Bonvoy card, making it easier to achieve Platinum Elite status or higher.
For those who are already a Sapphire Reserve cardholder without Marriott Gold Elite status, this is one of the easiest opportunities to earn it. To take advantage of this offer, enroll by September 30 and complete three eligible paid nights during the three-month trial to keep the status through February 2028.
Those who are not already a cardholder can consider applying for the Sapphire Reserve, which currently offers a solid welcome offer of 100,000 bonus points, earned after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
