I’ve long had Marriott Bonvoy® status with my credit cards and the status that comes with them.  I also love flying Singapore Airlines, so I appreciated it when Traci (our compliance editor) sent me this link. Got Marriott status, like me? If so, you can status match to KrisFlyer, and it’s super easy!

Here’s the Marriott status you can receive simply by holding the right card:

• Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card – Platinum Elite
• Marriott Bonvoy Bevy® American Express® Card – Gold Elite
• Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Card – Gold Elite
• Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card – Gold Elite
• American Express Platinum Card® – Gold Elite
• The Business Platinum Card® from American Express – Gold Elite

Enrollment required. Terms apply.

Readers with Marriott Gold or higher elite status can match up to Silver status on Singapore Airlines, and then earn Gold status with just four Singapore flights within six months. If you are planning some trips to Asia, this is especially compelling.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Choose your status (you can see that I entered my Platinum Elite status for Marriott and my normal KrisFlyer status above).
2. It told me what I could get for a matching KrisFlyer status = Elite Silver.
3. I then linked both accounts by putting in the appropriate account offers.
4. When done, I received this in my email.

 

 

Here’s what KrisFlyer Elite Silver Status will give me:

 

 

 

Bottom Line

If you have Marriott elite status, be sure to status match to Singapore Airlines. I flew Singapore Airlines a couple of times last year. (It’s one of my favorites!) I need to book a flight with them this year and apply my Silver Elite status.
