I hope that MR Gold will count as they are 50 nights but the document reads that it must be Plat
Hopefully we will get a clarification or reconsideration but the way I read it you would have zero Plat years but some towards LT Gold (although the bar has been raised)
SPG Gold years will definitely not count as they are only 25 nights
Don't know if they would count status match years
Frequent Miler has a Q&A that goes into those who won't qualify under the old program and that previous Marriott Gold years will qualify for the new Platinum once the new program starts:
- Q: In the new program, lifetime elite status will require a certain number of years of status. Will those years be additive across Marriott & SPG?
A: Yes. To determine the number of years you’ve been Platinum, you would add up the number of years you were Gold or higher with Marriot plus the number of years you were Platinum with SPG. They even count both when you had elite status with both programs in the same year.
