Question: what do you get with marriott gold status?
Answer: Welcome gift (£40): If you're a Gold Elite member, you'll receive a welcome gift of extra Marriott points at check-in, either 250 points for limited-service properties or 500 points for full-service locations. Given the assumed split above, you'd earn an average of 375 points (worth ~£2.60) for each of your 15 stays.
