Double elite nights at Marriott Homes & Villas: $1,750 minimum, book by Sep 30.

Marriott Bonvoy members can earn double elite night credits on Homes & Villas stays of 2+ nights booked by September 30, 2026, for stays through December 15, 2026, but only if the total spend hits $1,750. Thanksgiving week (Nov 21-30) also earns double points. The bonus nights post after December 15, counting toward the status year they post in. If you hold the Brilliant card for Platinum status, this still helps hit the 50/75-night threshold for Annual Choice Benefits.

Chicago United Status Match: Two flights, PQP from card spend, til Sept 30.

United's Chicago-area status match slashes the flight requirement from five to two during the challenge period, while keeping the PQP thresholds at 1,700, 3,400, 5,000, or 7,500 depending on tier. You get 120 days of matched Premier status after one qualifying ORD flight, and PQP earned on eligible United credit cards counts toward the challenge. This is a significant reduction for travelers who can hit the spend but not the extra segments.

the play

Enroll before September 30, fly one ORD roundtrip within 90 days, then hit two flights and the PQP threshold for your target tier.
