- Platinum members need 15 nights within 90 days
The Fine Print

Our Verdict
Obviously you’ll want to try and wait until you know you can meet the nights requirement to keep the status. I don’t think it’s going to be particularly difficult to get status in the next 12 months given COVID-19, but for those that highly value status and don’t have it this could be useful. Don’t forget about Marriott’s exclusively for you promotion and the 2,500 bonus points per stay.
