This thread is freaking me out as I didn't read the terms and conditions when I got the email, and immediately linked my Marriott Bonvoy account with my CX account. I am currently CX Gold and also Marriott Bonvoy Gold, and the reason I wanted to do this was to join the the Cathay Accelerator Challenge so that I can reach Marriott Platinum Elite after staying for 10 Qualifying Nights.
I've read the
T&C again and the following is my understanding. In summary, your status points will only reset to zero if you are a CX Green or CX Silver member but want to get upgraded to either CX Silver or CX Gold by virtue of being a Marriott Gold/Platinum/Titanium Elite/Ambassador member.
1. If you are a
CX Green member
and also a
Marriott Gold member:
- By virtue of being a Marriott Gold member, you will be eligible to be upgraded to CX Silver and your status points will reset to zero upon enrolment.
2. If you are a
CX Green member
and also a
Marriott Platinum/Titanium Elite/Ambassador member:
- By virtue of being a Marriott Platinum/Titanium Elite/Ambassador member, you will be eligible to be upgraded to CX Silver and your status points will reset to zero upon enrolment.
3. If you are a
CX Silver member
and also a
Marriott Platinum/Titanium Elite/Ambassador member:
- If you are a CX Silver member and also a Marriott Platinum/Titanium Elite/Ambassador member, a CX Silver member will be eligible to be upgraded to Gold if they accrue at least 300 status points within 12 months of enrolment. Your status points will reset to zero upon enrolment.
- If you are a Marriott Platinum/Titanium Elite/Ambassador member and has already achieved CX Gold, you will not be eligible to participate in this offer.
4. If you are a
CX Silver/Gold/Diamond member
and a
Marriott Bonvoy member or Marriott Silver/Gold member:
- If you are already a CX Silver/Gold/Diamond member who at the time of enrolment is also a Marriott Bonvoy member or a Marriott Silver/Gold member, may be eligible to receive additional benefits from Marriott Bonvoy (see below):
(a) If you are a CX Silver/Gold/Diamond member, you will be eligible for Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status after staying 10 Qualifying Nights within 6 months. If you are a CX Silver/Gold/Diamond member and have already achieved Marriot Bonvoy Platinum Elite, you will not be eligible to participate in this offer.
(b) If you are a CX Silver/Gold/Diamond member, you are eligible to request complimentary Marriott Gold status. CX Green members are not eligible to participate.
(c) If you are already a Marriott Gold member and want to participate in this offer, you can enjoy a 12-month extension of the Marriott Gold status. If you are already a Marriott Platinum status or higher, you will be able to retain the Platinum Elite or higher status.
Please let me know if anyone thinks my understanding above is incorrect...
