FAQs: https://secure.unitedmileageplus.com...s.html?lang=en

Q: If I registered and was granted complimentary Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status through RewardsPlus and have re–qualified for MileagePlus Premier Gold® status or higher for the following year, will I need to also re–register my request for complimentary Gold Elite status for the following year?

A: No. Members who have already registered for and received complimentary Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status through RewardsPlus in a calendar year and who qualify for MileagePlus Premier Gold® status or higher for the following calendar year will have their previous registration with RewardsPlus automatically renewed and will receive complimentary Marriott Rewards Gold Elite status for the following calendar year.

-------------------------------

For the United elites who are new to Marriott Rewards, here are the benefits you receive as Gold. Please familiarize yourself with what you are and are not entitled to as a Marriott Gold.

Also, please be nice to the Marriott 'newbies' who come to this forum to figure out what UA Silver gets (or doesn't get) them.

And here is a thread with some details for the newly-minted UA Silvers:

Tough crowd. You were and are still being comp'd Gold (25 nights or 10 nights with credit card). Yes, it has been devalued, but that was inevitable. There are still values to Gold, and you are getting for free.

Thought the 18 nights I have booked just between now and end of April would spare me from being downgraded. Will consider the 16 night Platinum challenge.. Already Gold with Hilton, wondering if they have a Diamond challenge and I'll move my stays. 1K status and LT Marriott Gold didn't help either. Congrats to any of you who manage to stay below the radar.

Hilton has a diamond challenge - 8 stays in 90 days. Not sure if they would allow Marriott Gold to its Diamond level, but Hilton is giving away its Diamond membership by just having the Aspire card.

The infinity symbol means that you have lifetime status. In your case, platinum.

No because the infinity background is gold, it is referring to LT Gold

Try to figure this out. I have 3 family members who were United GS members (as MM companions) in each of the last 3 years. None of them has actually earned any other status on UA or Marriott:

1) GS in 2017 -- still Marriott Platinum
2) GS in 2018 -- was Marriott Plat, but just got downgraded to Marriott Gold
3) GS in 2019 -- was Marriott Gold from the start

Me, too: dropped to Gold this morning. Not a surprise, but yeah, I have expressly booked away from Marriott all year so far, and sure as heck won't be booking them in the near future unless on business travel (where I'm forced to). In fact, if I have a business trip, I'm going to ask my travel department to get me matched from my Hilton Diamond (haven't made the request before, but they offer it).

UA and Marriott both could have done much better with this, with giving Plat to GS and 1k and been out nothing.

The wiki hasn't been updated yet. So is the official Bonvoy status you get is Gold for being UA Gold and above? I earned Platinum in Bonvoy but wondering for next year as I know I won't get Platinum in Bonvoy again as earned. I am UA MM so as long as Marriott continues program guess I will be something. And where have you found the official matching? I read through the posts but didn't see a link. Sorry if I just missed it.
