I just got off the phone with Marriott and they are telling me there will be a one time grandfathering into LTPP which will happen in August for all existing Marriott Platinums. After that, you can indeed earn status via the old way but ONLY in the new program i.e. lifetime Platinum but not lifetime LTPP.
This is really frustrating for loyal members of both programs who simply want to book travel. Thank you for your support.
I think that everyone seems to be missing the point that I can't clarify anything if it doesn't appear
here or
here first. If it isn't already in print and available to the public, there is nothing more I can tell you at this time.
