Recently lost my Marriott Bonvoy Platinum status.
What’s the fastest way to get it back (besides staying 50 nights straight in a hotel, lol)?

Get the credit card. Automatically get the status

Honestly why? Benefits are so minimal.

Just pay $100 for the credit card and you automatically get late check out with silver status

much cheaper than grinding nights

Double nights right now. 25 nights = 50 night credit

Amex card think it’s 650 a year. Titanium is basically the new platinum but at least plat still gets you breakfast

Seems silly to want status for something you don’t get organically. But that’s how they get ya

Can’t relate. Lifetime platinum here 😆

Lifetime Titanium and still avoid staying at Marriotts because benefits are so weak (as are the hotels themselves)

Buy points.

Points don’t get you status

Bonvoy boundless card and just use it for all your spending. For $95/year, You get a night for every $5k, +15 nights each year (+points), and if you double that with their various stay promos you should be good. My referral link if interested:

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex Card is the way to go. It has 650 yearly fee but comes with 185k points if you spend 6k in 6 months and a platinum Marriott status. Additionally it has $100 Marriott property credit, $300 dining credit, 25 free elite night credits, 1 free night award worth 85k points, Priority pass Select (with 2 guests if the lounge allows), and a few more perks. All in all it’s a decent deal.
