Does the Amex Platinum card get Marriott Bonvoy elite status automatically?
Does the Amex Platinum card earn bonus points on hotel bookings?
Which card gives you Marriott Gold status?
If I use my American Express platinum card to get automatic gold delete status with the Marriott Bonvoy program. Then I spend 25 nights at hotels throughout the year. Do I end up becoming platinum or am I still required to spend 50 nights in order to gain platinum status?
Is there any downside to booking through AMEX versus through Marriott Bonvoy with my status? I would think since I gained status through AMEX to begin with, that Marriott properties would honor my benefits no matter what system I booked through.
I.e. Looking to book for a night in Maui (first night before week at a villa), we but need late checkout time honored through my Bonvoy status because my check in at the villa is 4pm. AMEX is $650 per night; Marriott's website is $787.
