Marriott Bonvoy Is Jump Starting Your Next Status Level AGAIN! in 2021

Just like Marriott Bonvoy did in 2020, come February, they are once more depositing into your account 50% of the Elite Night Credits (ENCs) based on your 2020 earned Elite status. Bonvoy indicates these free nights will be deposited by February 5th.

So me, who had achieved Platinum last year because of last year’s boost, I will get 25 nights deposited into my account. I belive this will be in addition to the 15 nights I get per card from having a Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card and a Chase Marriott Bonvoy Business Card.

So when all is said and done, I will have 25 from the 50% gift, and 30 from the 2 cards, securing my Platinum status through Feb 2023 and getting me closer than I have ever been to Titanium Elite (75 nights). Not sure if I will get that, but I will keep it in mind throughout the year.

There are also additional updates for Ambassador level members.  Normally to achieve this highest status, members need over 100 nights and need to spend $20,000 at Bonvoy. Now, for 2021, members need to spend $14K to qualify.
