While I wouldn’t say this is the most exciting offer ever, I’m sure it’ll still come in handy for some. A similar promotion has been offered the past couple of years, and it’s now available once again.

Chase Sapphire Reserve Marriott Gold fast track
At the moment the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card (review) is offering Marriott Bonvoy® Gold Elite Status, with the opportunity to extend it in conjunction with stays:
- Register between July 1 and September 30, 2025, by logging into your Chase account and going to the benefits tab; alternatively, you can visit this link
- Once registered, you’ll receive Marriott Gold status for a period of three months
- If you stay three paid nights booked directly with Marriott during that three month period, you’ll receive status through February 2027
Is this Marriott Gold offer worth it?
Marriott Gold status isn’t the most valuable mid-tier hotel elite status (status becomes much more valuable once you reach Platinum, where you start receiving free breakfast and earning Nightly Upgrade Awards). Marriott Gold status offers perks like 25% bonus points, 2PM late check-out, enhanced Wi-Fi, a room upgrade subject to availability (to non-suites), etc.
If you happen to have Marriott stays coming up, then this offer is obviously better than nothing, since some status is better than no status. Just keep in mind that The Platinum Card® from American Express (review) offers Marriott Gold status for as long as you’re a cardmember (Enrollment required), so that’s a much better opportunity, as there are no stays required to maintain the status.
Bottom line
For a limited time, those with the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card can receive complimentary Marriott Gold status. The status is valid for a period of three months, and if you stay three paid nights during that period, you can receive the status through February 2027.
This is better than nothing for those who don’t have status with Marriott, but that’s about it.
Does anyone plan on taking advantage of this Chase Sapphire Reserve Marriott Gold offer?
The chase/CSR clown show continues.
What a joke. Gold status gets you almost nothing. A room ugrade and late check out, perhaps.
You’re not getting a room upgrade, certainly not in USA. U might get a couple of 12pm checkouts tho. Marriott is the worst brand of the big 4 hotels.
I have Marriott lifetime Gold earned the hard way - many years of business travel and lots of money paid a Starwood and Marriott hotels. It's not worth much, but things like this just dilute it even more.
In the last 3 years that I still had Marriott platinum I got a grand total of zero upgrades on 100+ nights. I wouldn't wake up from my coma for gold. I'm now 2 years free from doing anymore business with Marriott. I just don't see the point of repeat business for them.
Reg page suggests you have to Join Bonvoy— what if you are already a member of Bonvoy with a CSR card?
I wonder if Amex Platinum is getting ready to axe their benefit. If you look at the “Benefits” page on their website, both Hilton gold and Marriott gold have disappeared. I had to call a Platinum customer service representative to get my Marriott gold status recently; it is no longer possible to register for it on the Amex website.
Pretty ominous-looking, no?
I think they did this same offer a year or two ago, didn't they? Seeing as the card used to just come with Gold status, it's hard to get "excited" about this.
