We have recently established a Gold status. After staying 20 qualifying nights in a calendar year, you’ll achieve Gold Status and automatically be rewarded with Gold Status Points that can solely be redeemed for a free night.
The amount of Gold Status Points you have depends on the average amount you spent over the course of your 20 qualified nights.
We do not offer a short term way to become a Gold member if you have a elite status with another program.
Hope this helps.

I would be interested if this option exists as well. Usually this means achieving an elite status by staying about 25% of the annual requirement within a short period of time such as 60-90 days.
