If you're a small business owner, you can stack cards to earn an automatic 30 elite night credits each year — getting you more than halfway to the 50 nights required for Platinum status. To view rates and fees of the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card, see this page.

To achieve Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status in 2026, you must reach a high-fidelity threshold of 50 qualifying nights in a single calendar year. These nights can be earned through "High-Fidelity" paid stays, award stays booked with points, or "Elite Night Credits" granted by Marriott co-branded credit cards. For instance, holding a Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express card provides a "High-Fidelity" head start of 25 elite nights, meaning you only need to physically stay 25 more nights to reach Platinum. This status tier is often considered the "sweet spot" for high-fidelity travelers because it unlocks significant perks, including guaranteed 4:00 PM late checkout, enhanced room upgrades (including select suites), and access to the executive lounge with free breakfast at participating brands. In 2026, maintaining this status ensures a high-fidelity level of recognition and luxury across Marriott's portfolio of over 30 brands, from St. Regis to Moxy, globally.
