SPG Amex Can edition
Does it matter when you reach the $30K spend to qualify for the SPG Gold status? For example, my anniversary date is end of July. If I meet the $30K spend in Feb, when will my SPG Gold status last? Should I defer meeting the $30K spend in order to maximize the Gold status validity? Does Marriott Gold expire the same time as SPG Gold once they are linked?

The only thing I’ve found that’s time sensitive is the free weekend night at $40k. You have 12 months to use it from the statement when you earned it so earning it closer to your anniversary date makes it more likely that you’ll have 2 (2017 and 2018) to be able to use together.
