How do you get the match?
Sign in on the partner’s page on Marriott’s partner site and link your Marriott Bonvoy and airline accounts. Each partnership has its own terms, which set who qualifies.
Apart from the 12 months on Miles & More’s accelerated Gold Elite, the partner pages don’t say how long a matched status lasts, so read the partnership’s terms before you plan a year of stays around it.
Is matched status worth it?
Gold Elite from a match brings bonus points and later checkout. Platinum Elite and above is where suite upgrades and lounge access begin, and none of these matches gives it outright. Compare the tiers.
