Or if you have another top elite card on someone else, ie Hyatt or Hilton, and if you haven't had been matched before, you could ask for a status match to the equivalent.

But otherwise, you would have to earn it.

I'm just 3 stays off from Platinum and I had had to earn it stay by stay. I didn't even get the doubel stay promo, and all my stays have been outside the USA so that makes it even harder (not to mention more expensive) to achieve.
