Who knew Marriott Concierge was still a thing?
Starwood Lurker II posts "This is just the beginning, and we’re excited for you! As always, we’ll be here and can help answer any questions that you have regarding today’s news" in the other thread, meanwhile Marriott Concierge's last post was February 2016.
Constructive Criticism: Marriott Concierge should follow Starwood Lurker's lead.
Prediction: Starwood Lurker will follow Marriott Concierge's lead.

I'm hoping Marriott keeps the Lurkers. They're more responsive & also more empowered.
Cheers.

Can the 7 night stay certs by Marriott now be used at Starwood properties?

When I look at my nights in Marriott to maintain my Plat status I find that although I've 102 nights showing, 10 were from the credit card, about 30 were carried over from last year and effectively double counted. Most of the rest were inflated by the non-US 'double nights' promotion.
It's a difficult comparison.
Just sayin'.

Question for anyone who has converted SPG to Marriott points. Does the transfer count towards your Marriott lifetime points balance?

Will points transferred from Starwood accounts count towards Marriott's lifetime point total requirement?

Don't know the answer but if it does, wouldn't it have to subtract from SPG lifetime to make this work? Because otherwise, you just keep transfer between the 2 and made both of them go up indefinitely!

What About RC Status if You Don't Have it?
So, I'm MR LT Plat and SPG Plat 75. If I created a RC account and did the status match from SPG to that, would I then also have RC Plat? meaning would I then have my MR LT Plat, RC Plat, and SPG Plat 75?

A lot of SPG + a lot of MR = Nothing

A post on the Marriott Insiders forum from a Marriott Associate states points transferred from SPG will NOT count toward Marriott lifetime points. Personally, I find that ridiculous since points earned elsewhere and transferred in to MR do count. Was hoping this would push me to MR Lifetime Platinum (have the nights but need points). Instead, it looks like things end up as:
