Back Again: Chase Sapphire Reserve Card Offering 3 Months of Marriott Bonvoy Gold Status

The Chase Sapphire Reserve^® is one of the best premium travel rewards credit cards available today.

In the past, Chase and Marriott have offered Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status with options to extend it after the promotional period.

Now, the promotion is back — here’s how you can unlock automatic status.

Get Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite Status for 3 Months

In case you haven’t heard, the Chase Sapphire Reserve card has gotten a massive refresh with new perks and a higher $795 annual fee. While new applicants already have access to these benefits, these changes will roll out on October 26, 2025, for existing cardholders who have had the card before June 23, 2025.

One of those card updates includes complimentary Platinum Elite status in the IHG One Rewards program, but that hasn’t stopped Chase and Marriott from offering a promotion for cardholders to claim complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold status for 3 months.

Those with the Chase Sapphire Reserve card and J.P. Morgan Reserve card can now get Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status for 3 months, a promotion we’ve seen consistently from Chase and Marriott over the last few years.

You must register for the promotion between July 1 and September 30, 2025. Your request should be processed within 3 business days.

To register, log on to your Chase Ultimate Rewards account and select your Chase Sapphire Reserve card. Then, use the dropdown arrow to select Card Benefits.

Then, you’ll see the new Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status benefit. Simply click on Learn More and enter your Marriott Bonvoy number to register.

Alternatively, you can register by going to the dedicated landing page for this promotion.

How To Extend Your New Marriott Status

While the first 3 months of your new Marriott Gold Elite status are complimentary, you can extend your status through February 2027 by staying 3 qualifying paid nights at participating Marriott hotels.

Here’s the fine print for this offer:

• Your 3 nights must be completed during your initial 3-month complimentary Gold Elite status period.
• Award nights don’t count.
• Qualifying nights must be booked through Marriott’s website or mobile app. Nights booked through third parties, including the Chase Travel portal, do not count.
• Nights do not need to be consecutive.

Is This a Good Deal?

There is no downside to the 3-month complimentary Marriott Bonvoy status, so yes, it’s a good deal. Whether or not staying 3 paid nights to extend your status is a good idea will be a personal decision.

If you’ve got 3 nights you need to stay in a hotel during a 3-month period, it could make sense to spend those nights in a Marriott location to extend your status. However, I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to make that happen.

While there are some nice perks of Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status — such as 2 p.m. late checkout and room upgrades — it doesn’t come with some of the more desirable hotel elite status perks, such as free breakfast.

Plus, Marriott Gold Elite status comes complimentary with these credit cards, so it’s relatively easy to get:

• The Platinum Card^® from American Express upon enrollment
• The Business Platinum Card^® from American Express upon enrollment
• Marriott Bonvoy Bevy^® American Express^® Card
• Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Credit Card
• Marriott Bonvoy Business^® American Express^® Card

You can even get the more desirable Marriott Bonvoy^® Platinum Elite status by holding the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant^® American Express^® Card.

Final Thoughts

The Chase Sapphire Reserve card is offering complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status for 3 months when you register between July 1 and September 30, 2025. If you stay 3 paid nights during your 3-month trial, your status will be extended through February 2027.
