And at the highest tiers of elite status, programs like Starwood Preferred Guest can be very lucrative. In the airline world, elite status is typically earned when a customer travels between 25,000 and 100,000 miles each year. To earn elite benefits in a hotel loyalty program, members earn status based on how many nights or stays they log with the hotel each year.
