With just weeks left in 2023, travelers are tallying their status-earning achievements.<\/p>\n

You may hope to earn status for the first time this year or chase a higher status tier. If you’re in that boat, you might be planning to get there through organic travel or are even considering a last-minute mattress run<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s often much easier to qualify for elite status with hotels than with airlines because award stays at major chains count towards hotel elite status<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, if you risk falling a night short in earning status in 2023, do hotel stays from Dec. 31 to Jan. 1 count toward earning status this year or next? TPG reader Hailey asks:<\/p>\n

After accounting for all my work travel I’m going to be one night short of Marriott Platinum status this year. If I book an award stay over New Year’s Eve, would that count towards 2023 (when I check in) or 2024 (when I check out)?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
