For example, I'm LT SPG Gold with no LT status in MR. However, my combined nights will put me over 500, and with 800,000 current SPG points, at a 3:1 transfer rate, I'll have well over 1.6 million points in MR. Will I then get LT MR Gold, which translates at the end of 2018 to LT Platinum Elite in the new program?
Thank you for your input.
You are referring to this case, right?
I don't think they will get the legacy Marriott Gold LT status (which maps to LT Plat in the new program) when they merge all of their SPG nights/points into the new account in August. They will get whatever they are entitled to in the new program but would need 10 years of Platinum status in either program and 750 nights between both programs. Points won't matter.
Am I missing something?
