The new Chase Sapphire Reserve® (See rates and fees) now comes with IHG One Rewards Platinum status, and cardmembers who spend $75,000 on the card in a year receive top tier Diamond status (as well as Southwest Airlines status).

That’s not the only status available to Sapphire Reserve cardmembers, however – aside from status match opportunities that those offers may open up! – because there’s also a new offer of Gold status from Marriott.

This isn’t promoted as a benefit of the card because instead of an ongoing offer, it’s a promotion you can register for.

  • Gold status lasts 3 months, and if you stay 3 qualifying paid nights during that period it’ll be valid through February 2027.
  • You must be a new member, not yet have status or have only Silver to be eligible.
  • Promotion is available July 1 – September 30, 2025
  • Award nights don’t count

Marriott Gold’s primary benefit is avoiding the worst room in the house and 2 p.m. late checkout at eligible properties. While this status is not an ongoing feature of th card, we’ve seen it before.
