Want Marriott Gold status without actually staying in a Marriott 25 nights? Here's a hot tip! You can snag a FREE four-month membership to citizenM+ using the promo code COPLUS4. Once you're signed up with citizenM, you should see an option to match that to Marriott Gold status. Boom, instant perks!

Why should you care? Marriott Gold usually requires a decent number of nights in their hotels. This shortcut gives you upgrades when available, bonus points on stays, and other goodies. Think of it as a taste of the good life, without the usual commitment.

Now, here's the kicker. You DO need to enter your credit card info, and it automatically enrolls you in auto-renewal for the citizenM+ membership. So, set a reminder on your phone to cancel before the four months are up if you don't want to be charged. Otherwise, enjoy the Gold life while it lasts!

Why This Matters for Your Strategy

News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.

As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
