Lifetime points are missing from the profile section of the website and show as 0 in the Marriott mobile app. However, you may be able to use the work-around referenced in this blog post to see your current Lifetime Points.
You can still view your lifetime points online with the following steps:
If you call Marriott they can also tell you your lifetime points balance.
http://www.marriott.com/marriott/rew...te-benefits.mi As of 20 May, this process does not work. There is no link called "Night Detail" on this page.
To check lifetime balances: (HT to txpenny)
1. Click "Night Detail".
2. Click "Learn More" (under the night total)
3. Click "Marriott Rewards Overview". At this point you're probably no longer logged in (because you've been thrown to an older version of the Marriott website), so log in again.
4. Click "Nights" under your current year's nights. -> The detail you're expecting showing LT nights and points will show up like before.
Lifetime Silver Elite:
250 qualified nights
1.2 million points
Lifetime Gold Elite
500 qualified nights
1.6 million points
Lifetime Platinum Elite
750 qualified nights
2.0 million points
To check your point and night balance, log into your account and click My Account > Account Overview > Nights.
"Elite Lifetime Status is determined by your total qualified nights stayed and points earned throughout the course of your membership – including your paid nights, Elite rollover nights, meeting nights and the nights and points earned on your Marriott Rewards Credit Card."
Points used by members to buyback their previously attained Elite level will be permanently deducted from their Lifetime point balance.
If an elite's point level drops below that required for the level attained, they will drop down to the next Lifetime level until points are accumulated to get them back to the next level.
Lifetime points in addition to nights now display on your Marriott Rewards account. When logged in, click on "Nights" (the blue link below the number representing your current year nights). You'll see the detail of what comprises your current year nights as well as your Lifetime Status nights.

With my discovery, or is it simply new, of Lifetime Plat at SPG, I have to rethink my distribution. MR seemed like a stretch, depending on career moves, but SPG seems within reach, say 3 yrs , just needing the nights credit. With the added bonus of getting to the 75 nt threshold at SPG, will have to ponder this...

I have been Plat for about 17 years, including for 2012, although I have booked no stays in 2012 thus far. I have cumulative 836 paid nights and over 2.5 million points. For those of you who do the math, 836 works out to just over 11 years at 75 nights/year, however, there were years when I was not downgraded to gold for a variety of reasons. As one example of one of those reasons, some might remember the year of the SARS crisis when I had lots of Asian travel the previous year, and Marriott sent me a letter indicating they were comping current status for people with recent Asian travel, due to the possibility of less travel to Asia during the SARS crisis, other reasons such as being close some years, such as 60 or more nights, but after I had been Plat for at least 8 years, and a few other reasons. I have not traveled during 2012 due to serious illness, but I hope to start traveling again for 2013, hopefully fairly shortly. I never exceeded Plat requirements by much, except one year when my travel was over 100 nights, and other than that, my top years were about 85, and a lot of 76 or 78s, etc.
The reason for this posting is to inquire whether anyone knows how "generous" Marriott has been with continuing status for longtime elite members even when there have been few or no stays in a year. I am looking into using the meeting promo to pick up enough nights before the end of the year, or in the first two months of 2013 to keep status if necessary, because Plat benefits have always been very valuable to me. Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks!

It appears that they are going through that process right now - in another thread there is a discussion of several of us receiving the "congrats on making Platinum" note recently (though it says for 2011). When I inquired, they replied that they had comped me for next year, even though I'm at 49 nights.
I'd write a note to CS, including much of the data in your post, and see what they have to say.

That should put you at Lifetime Gold anyway. You would not have been told as you have been Platinum.

You said you had no stays in 2012. I would not burn any money this year to maintain status. If you find out they will not extend your status another year, wait until January to do the meeting promo. That way your status will be guaranteed until March 2015.

New Lifetime Criteria Thread Posted on MR Insiders
Michellel posted this a few moments ago on MR Insiders:
I know this may get moved to the existing Lifetime Elite Status thread, but I thought it was important enough to have its own thread, a least for a little while.
Regards,
RIP...
Is this new Lifetime content understandable?
Greetings, All! You have been so helpful in terms of giving us insight into how to describe the program benefits more clearly, we'd love to get your opinion on the first-ever description of our amended criteria to achieve Lifetime status (below). Please bear in mind that we have never published the criteria, so it would not be appropriate for us to point out anything around changes.
What do you think?
Copy in Brochure:
Earn Elite lifetime Status
Achieve a status milestone over the course of your membership
and you’ll enjoy Elite status for a lifetime. You’ll still be able to
reach a higher status—but you’ll never go below your Lifetime
level. You’ll have the Elite experience, always.
Lifetime Milestones
• Platinum Elite: 750 nights + 2 million points
• Gold Elite: 500 nights + 1.6 million points
• Silver Elite: 250 nights + 1.2 million points
For more details, visit MarriottRewards.com/Lifetime.

Wow, that is a big drop in nights required for all levels. This will make it easier to obtain lifetime platinum for US residents who have a Marriott credit card versus lifetime platinum with *wood because Marriott has rollover nights and elite nights from credit cards while *wood does not count the credit card nights towards lifetime status. Also, Marriott lets you earn nights from qualifying meetings.

So glad the point requirement didn't go up, I JUST hit 2,000,000 this week!
On the other hand dropping the nights is a shame...as I have 1481.

How do we track our path to Lifetime? The Marriott site shows total nights but doesn't mention points accumulated..

Last Sunday night I thought I had a achieved a significant milestone--1,000 Marriott nights, making me eligible for lifetime Platinum.
Not so fast as they say--now it's just 750 nights.....
Marriott remain the champs at offering what I don't need (750 nights for lifetime when I just earned 1,000 nights)--and not offering what I do need (free breakfast for Platinums at CYs and resorts).
I guess it's now time to go and seek out greener pastures.....
Could not get this link to work.
