You can earn a status with no Elite Night Credit (through a credit card) - if so, you need to earn all of the ENC to get the next status (no boost). Some CCs give a number of ENC - then you need to earn the difference to get the next status. For example, the US Bonvoy Brilliant gives Platinum status and 25 ENC - to get Titanium, you need to get 50 more ENC, not just 25 - even though you are already Platinum.
