The new year brings with it the reset of elite status qualification metrics.
You must requalify every year for travel elite status. You will enjoy the status that you earned last year. If you don't have lifetime status, you'll need to requalify this year to keep your status for another year.
When you go above and beyond and hold a credit card or requalify for elite status, a number of major loyalty programs offer bonuses. You should keep an eye on your accounts to make sure everything posts correctly.
Here are the elite status rollovers you should expect this month and how to find out if you are eligible.
Delta status requires a certain number of miles and dollars. If you want to keep your Delta status, you have to earn many MQMs, MQSs and MQDs in the next few years.
Every MQM above your status tier will be rolled over by Delta. You finished the year with 105,000 MQMs, but you are a Platinum Medallion. This year you will have 30,000 MQMs.
Take your status tier requirement and add it to your total MQMs.
They don't roll over. If you want to earn MQDs for a fraction of the normal price, we have a guide for you. That's how one person re qualified for Diamond Medallion after visiting South Africa.
SkyMiles accounts are currently being used to post rollover MQMs.

Delta Air Lines is my favorite airline.
There is a reminder for people who qualified for United status. You'll get a bonus deposit based on the status you achieved. What you can expect is listed here.
If you have a PQP deposit, you will be able to requalify. This is what you will need to earn in order to become a United.
Tier | PQPs + Premier Qualifying Flights (PQFs) | Only PQPs |
---|---|---|
Premier Silver | 4,000 PQPs + 12 PQFs | 5,000 PQP |
Premier Gold | 8,000 PQPs + 24 PQFs | 10,000 PQP |
Premier Platinum | 12,000 PQPs + 36 PQFs | 15,000 PQP |
Premier 1K | 18,000 PQPs + 54 PQFs | 24,000 PQP |
You will get a deposit for the status you earn in 2023.
In our tests, United hasn't made PQP deposits in its accounts.
There is a way to get maximum value from the United Mileage Plus program.
If you earn more nights than your status requirements, you'll get rolled over by the hotel. This year, it takes a lot of work to earn a spot on the list.
Status requirements were lowered last year. Top-tier Diamond status can be earned with 42 nights of work. You could requalify for status in 2023 if you don't step foot into a hotel this year.
If you earned 38 nights last year, you'll have 10 nights this year. The elite night requirement should be subtracted from the rollover nights calculation.
You can get Diamond status by holding the American Express card.
The Points Guy collected the information for the card. The card issuer did not review or provide the card details on this page.
At the time of writing, we don't know when the nights will be posted in our accounts.
Reflecting on my first year as a diamond member of the honor society.
I want to requalify for Globalist. This is what it takes to be a Hyatt.
There are two credit cards offered by World of Hyatt, the World of Hyatt Credit Card and the World of Hyatt Business Credit Card.
The World of Hyatt credit card gives you five tier-qualifier nights each year. If you spend more than $5,000 on the card, you can earn two additional tier-qualifying night credits.
You can get five elite nights for every $10,000 spent on the card.
Hyatt credit card nights have not yet been posted.
After being a Hyatt Globalist for five years, I have learned a lot.
Any nights over Gold, Platinum and Diamond Elite are rolled over. Any nights earned in excess of SilverElite will not roll over.
Rollover nights are valid for a single year. This year, it's necessary to earn I hg One rewards.
You earned 62 elite qualification nights. Ihg will roll over 22 elite nights since they are in excess of Platinum. You will be eligible for at least Gold Elite this year.
Our tests show that these nights are posting to member accounts.
There are 7 ways to earn more I hg One rewards points.
Some Marriott Bonvoy members can earn elite nights if they hold a Marriott co branded card. This year, Marriott Bonvoy status requires a certain amount of work.
My colleague has written a complete guide to earning Marriott Bonvoy status from co branded credit cards, but I'll highlight that you can earn up to 40 elite nights per year from credit cards and up to 25 nights from a personal card. 35 nights away from titanium elite status.
The Marriott credit card nights have been posted.
Marriott wants to bring back personal ambassadors.
Some programs give you a head start when it comes to your status metrics. Marriott is the only program that has put up credit card nights.
Wait until the end of the month to contact your loyalty program about missing elite status, deposits or credit card nights if you want to audit your loyalty accounts.
