Is it confirmed that PURCHASED POINTS count towards LIFETIME? I'm not sble to find the info on their website
I have not seen it in writing on the Marriott website, but I have purchased points for the last 3 years and it always counted. The first time I bought points I purchased 1,000 points, and when it showed in my lifetime number, I purchased 49,000 more. I was looking down the road to Lifetime status. I made lifetime Platinum the first week of January of this year, so I have not purchased any this year. I* hope this info helps. Just buy 1,000 points first, then buy the other 49,000 when the 1,000 points show up.
