Q: If I registered and was granted complimentary Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status through RewardsPlus and have re–qualified for MileagePlus Premier Gold® status or higher for the following year, will I need to also re–register my request for complimentary Gold Elite status for the following year?
A: No. Members who have already registered for and received complimentary Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status through RewardsPlus in a calendar year and who qualify for MileagePlus Premier Gold® status or higher for the following calendar year will have their previous registration with RewardsPlus automatically renewed and will receive complimentary Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status for the following calendar year.

Before Marriott downgraded the benefits for 1K members I too used to choose to stay at their properties. Cannot remember the last time I stayed at a Mariott property.

Since mid-2018, the Marriott BONV°Y™ Gold Elite status, earned at 25 yearly Elite Qualifying Nights (EQN), has been fairly worthless anyway -- 2:00 p.m. checkout, slightly higher point earnings.
The good stuff -- breakfast, lounge access, 4:00 p.m. checkout, Free Night Certificate (FNC) -- starts at Platinum (50 EQN), and Titanium (75 EQN) for the FNC (with 75 actual EQN, not lifetime status).
Prior to mid-2018, the Marriott Reward® Gold you earned required 50 EQN, and Platinum was the 75-EQN level.
Marriott invented the new 25-EQN faux Gold level because UA Premier Gold members were getting "too good of a deal" at Marriott.
So, as the entirety of this thread makes clear, UA Premier Gold members and above got BONV°Yed!

When the program was initially launched and Marriott Gold had Club/breakfast benefits, it actually shifted some meaningful spend from other chains to Marriott; for a free agent it was a decision factor that made a difference.
Bonvoy Gold certainly isn’t worth a ton these days, but I will still gladly take the free bump up from my Lifetime Silver status (woohoo!) if it earns me a few more points and an occasional upgrade. And yes, I have received two club upgrades at one specific property because I was Gold in the past two years.
But, it seems Marriott forgot about my UA Gold status and busted me down to Silver this year. I thought in past years it wasn’t necessary to reapply!?
I also have the Amex Plat and thus have two routes to Bonvoy Gold. Guess I got double-BONV°Yed!

New Marriott Partnership with SQ
Under the current partnership between United Airlines (UA) and Marriott, frequent guests of the latter who have the two highest statuses, namely Marriott BONV°Y Ambassador Elite and Marriott BONV°Y Titanium Elite, are eligible for complimentary UA Premier Silver membership, which is also Star Alliance (*A) Silver (*S).
Now Marriott has a new partnership with Singapore Airlines (SQ). Under this partnership, SQ *S membership is granted to the top three highest Marriott statuses, including Marriott BONV°Y Platinum Elite.
https://travel-partner.marriott.com/singapore/en-gb
Preferred Partnership with KrisFlyer (Marriott forum)
If Marriott could persuade UA to follow suit in bestowing UA *S to the same Elites, it would help the guests, but also induce more flights on UA by those frequent travellers.
