What about Marriott Gold Card members?

You need to open an ordinary card member first.

If you stay at Marriott Hotel for 40 nights, you can upgrade to a gold card member. The most direct way to upgrade to a higher level of Marriott courtesy above the gold card is to increase the number of days in Marriott Hotel. As long as you stay in any Marriott hotel, whether it is a luxury brand or a mid-range brand, you can get the corresponding room night points.
