I'm currently at 41 nights at SPG this year and 9 at Marriott. Do I just need 9 more nights at SPG properties, than after that 41 nights at Marriott properties to have "2 years credit"?

In the back of my mind, this just looks like a very complex backend system to keep track of former Starwood and former Marriott hotels.

Wasn't it explained on the faq I'd you qualify for both program's same elite tier, they could as double?
