Alternatively, there could be a tiered LT Plat status post-program merger similar to the tiered Plat status that currently exists whereby members with 500 nights would earn LT Plat Status while those with 750 nights would earn an enhanced LT Plat Status similar to SPG50 vs SPG75 vs SPG100.
P.S. My Dashboard also shows the correct progress towards LT Plat status.
If you look at it objectively, SPG Platinum 50 is roughly more equivalent to MR Gold and SPG Platinum 75 is roughly more equivalent to MR Platinum (yes, with Suite Nights and My 24). SPG 100 doesn't really have a MR equivalent. When MR maps the LT statuses, it would make sense to map them that way (assuming for the current SPG LT Plats, they can still go and figure out if they've made the qualification for the new Platinum level - 750 nights, for example, and look at both the Marriott nights and SPG nights in figuring that out).
