Is there also a certain number of stays required?
Sorry, a typo, which I've since corrected in my previous post. I was referring to 1,000 nights (I just stated in without a number because I didn't know the exact number).

- 2 m points? That's the big problem for me...
Do I see something wrong?
You don't have to
have 2m MR points in your account. You only need to
have ever earned lifetime 2m MR points, whether they're still there or not. (Lifetime points are all the points you've earned since you became a Marriott Rewards member, whether you redeemed them since or not.)
How can you not have a big start on lifetime MR points if you have such a big head start on 12 years and 1000 nights? Were you always earning miles on all your stays?
2m points is 2000 points for each of 1000 nights. At 10 points/$ (at many of the brands), you'd automatically have that if you earned points (rather than nights) on all your stays and paid $200/night on average, assuming no bonuses ever. If you particpated in bonuses, you'd get 2m points on 1000 nights at a signficantly lower cost-per-night average.
