Simply stay 20 qualifying nights* at a participating hotel in a calendar year to achieve Gold Status and you’ll earn a free night right away. No waiting, no delays. And as a Gold Status member, you will continue to earn regular Rewards points while you rack up Gold Status Points. That’s the power of going gold.
How does Gold Status work?
•After staying 20 qualifying* nights in a calendar year, you’ll achieve Gold Status and automatically be rewarded with Gold Status Points that can solely be redeemed for a free night.
•The amount of Gold Status Points you have depends on the average amount you spent over the course of your 20 qualified nights.
Average spend per 20 nights Gold Status Points earned
$100 or less 6,000
$100.01 - $150 10,000
$150.01+ 20,000
•You will earn an additional Gold Status Point bonus for every 20 qualifying nights, up to 3 bonuses in a calendar year.
•Your Gold Status will last for the remainder of the calendar year in which you achieved status as well as the following calendar year.
•You will continue to earn your regular Rewards points on every qualifying night you stay. Again, your Gold Status Points may only be redeemed for a free night; however, your regular Rewards points can be redeemed for free nights, gift cards, merchandise & more.
How do I use Gold Status Points?
•Book a free night stay at any participating hotel with your Gold Status Points.
•Your Gold Status Points can be combined with your regular Rewards points when booking a free night. Gold Status Points will automatically be redeemed first, starting with those closest to expiring. Regular Rewards points will then be used for any balance.
•Your free night stay using Gold Status Points must be redeemed within 4 months of earning your free night or they will expire and will no longer be available. Be sure to redeem your free night before your Gold Status Points expire!
