If you register for the bonuses and get them, you shouldn't have any problem hitting 2 million points.
In spite of a lot of rollover nights and other bonus night credits, I'm only 105K points short of lifetime status. And a lot of my stays were at non-full service hotels.
I have been a MR member for many years and almost always stay at Marriott properties. I am not a road warrior so stays are not very frequent. Nevertheless, I just hit 77 nights through a combination of rollover nights, bonuses, Premier VISA card, etc. Much to my surprise, I am suddenly MR PLT, having never been higher than silver before. A few questions, if you don't mind:

1. Is the lifetime status program documented?
2. Does MR have a lifetime Gold status?
3. I think my total nights are almost 500 (tried to check but the MR site seems to be down for maintenance). Do bonus nights count toward to lifetime PLT? If not, my chances of reaching the 1000 level in my lifetime are slim.

Thanks for your help.
