I contacted them via email on 8/14/2025 at status_match@choicehotels.com and asked to match from Marriott Gold to Choice Platinum. I was already at Gold via a complimentary upgrade due to being a military veteran. I included a screenshot of my Marriott Bonvoy status (that I got via my AME Platinum card). They replied on 8/14/2025 and gave me Platinum status until 12/31/2026. "We appreciate your interest in upgrading your elite status. I have successfully upgraded you to Choice Privileges Platinum Elite, the highest elite status that we provide from our status match program. Your elite status is valid only until December 31, 2026. If this is removed prior to the stated date, please contact us for assistance."
