Since COVID19 hit the world, the hotel industry suffers great losses in revenue and visitor traffic. I have been a long term member of Marriot Bonvoy (used to be Starwood Preferred Guest and Marriott Rewards separately) and am their lifetime Silver Elite.
Recently, what caught my attention is the promotion that they are running for Year 2021 in their COVID19 Response Website. In a nutshell, below is the summary of the additional promo that they provide due to COVID19.
1. You will only need HALF the nights, stays and base points to earn a Elite Status. Which means that you will need only 5 nights to reach Silver, 20 nights to reach Gold and 30 nights to reach Diamond (or 2 stays to reach Silver, 10 stays to reach Gold and 15 stays to reach Diamond) in 2021.
2. Points will not be expired in 2021 and will be extended automatically to 2022. Previously it's 12 months from your last stay hence you'll have to stay once every 12 months in order to continue your membership.
