Earning SPG plat this year = what next year?

If I earn platinum via legacy SPG stays by end of year... will I be platinum next year with Marriott, or would I get bumped up to platinum premier?

If I wouldnt... how can I ensure I earn platinum premier this year to have for next?

if you earn Plat this year you will be ... guess what ... plat in 2019. Pretty easy to earn PP as well ... just meet the requirements for PP. Not sure what I am missing here.

Thought Plat converted to Plat premier but guess thats only if you were Marriott plat.

Are there any ways to fast track to PP for next year if youre platinum now?

Only way to get PP is 75 nights.

Yes, to qualify for the new program's Platinum Elite with stays, those stays must be at SPG legacy properties.

You can qualify with 25 stays at 11 brands. Or you can qualify with 50 nights across all 29 brands.

2018 is the final year to qualify with stays.

I just checked my account, and both my husband and I were upgraded from Gold to Platinum Elite. Did this happen to anyone else? Is it a glitch?

Is there anywhere on the website where it shows your legacy SPG stay counts? ie how will I know I requalified? I know myself by keeping track but I'm not 100% trusting this all yet...

I am already a Marriott platinum this year and have just about hit my 75 nights. I want to also get my 25 stays with SPG to add a year of Platinum to my lifetime total. If I combine my accounts (ie merge them as available starting today) will my spg property stays count towards spg 25 platinum or just add to my overall count at Marriott? I have 12 stays already this year at spg, 3 planned and going to move some stays to starwood to get my 25 but I was wondering if I should hold off merging accounts. Ie Once merged will starwood stays be considered just marriott stays like they will be in 2019.

Yeah, I wonder where it's stored.

Yes.

All 29 hotel brands count if you want to qualify by nights. However, only the 11 SPG legacy brands count if you want to qualify by stays under SPG legacy rules.
