Although we do not offer a status match program, with the exception of Marriott Rewards, I am happy to introduce you to our Gold Status Challenge. As a frequent traveler yourself, I am certain you will appreciate the expedited journey in which you can achieve our elite Gold status. I am happy to confirm you are eligible to participate as you have never successfully completed a challenge and have not been Gold within the past five years. If interested, please reply to this email to indicate which challenge you are interested in participating in, and which consecutive three-month earning period you would like to enroll in. Available earning periods for enrollment in the month of May are: April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017; May 1, 2017 to July 31, 2017; June 1, 2017 to August 31, 2017. Once registered, simply stay at a Starwood branded hotel for nine eligible nights within the three-month period you have selected, and your account will be upgraded within eight days of your last required eligible night posting to your account. Only paid nights, booked at an eligible Starpoints-earning room rate, are valid toward this promotion.
