citizenM hotels has launched a free status match offer for airline and other elite hotel members to their mycitizenM+ membership. The offer is open globally across citizenM’s 36 (and growing) hotels.
citizenM offers affordable luxury boutique-type hotels in 18 city centres across Europe, the USA and Asia, with hotels in London and Glasgow within the UK.
For a limited time, eligible customers who hold status with an airline or hotel can visit citizenm.statusmatch.com and receive a one-year mycitizenM+ membership at no cost. This represents a savings of £9 per month or £108108 per year – the standard price for a mycitizenM+ membership.
The offer applies to a wide range of airline and hotel loyalty programs with all airlines covered, such as British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, Finnair, TAP, Iberia and ITA as examples. For hotels, all the major chains are covered, such as Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, IHG, Accor and GHA as well as smaller schemes. You need to hold at least silver status to apply for the match.
I tried it with Marriott Bonvoy, and I was asked to supply my membership number and status as well as a screenshot to prove it.
The mycitizenM+ program offers benefits include:
- 15% off of all stays,
- free welcome drink with all app bookings
- early access to sales (before the general public)
- valid at all citizenM hotels worldwide
- free late check-out at 2.00 PM (instead of 11.00 AM)
- free premium view (at hotels with premium view)
- 10% off food and drink (except breakfast)
- guaranteed room (48 hours’ notice)
You can see the full list here.

A warning here: I went through the fairly annoying application process, and got the status (with BA Silver), but when I went to get the membership, the page insisted on asking for a credit card. That was irritating enough, but when I entered a Revolut on-time card, even though I approved the payment status on the Revolut app (£0), the CitizenM website bounced the “payment”. No way am I entering details of a credit card and then have to remember a year down the line to cancel in time to avoid £100 odd charge.
It’s a pity, as I stayed at the CitizenM in Bankside last year, and thought it was a really cool concept, and very good value.
From my perspective, this is sharp practice, and I’m not having anything to do with it. Neither am I minded to say at CitizenM hotels again.
