I have 8 years of SPG Platinum. I will requalify this year, by end of 2018 so I will have 9 years SPG Platinum earned, primarily via the Stays, not Nights each year. The fact that starting in 2019 I will need 50 combined nights (no stay option) makes this relevant because after this year, I will have to work "harder" to requalify my 10th and final Platinum year since I will need 50 nights, not 25 stays.

SO ...
1. How do I find out if I have just one year of Marriott status from years past that would count as 1 year of status? I may have had that years ago, but not sure.
2. Did we decide if I do have 1 year of MR Gold status (for example in 2008), would that count in my circumstance as a 10th year for the purposes of counting in the new Elite program ... and after that all I will need to do is get to 600 stays in 2019 to be LTP? I have 540 lifetime combined nights right now, will have 565 - 570 by end of the year.

As you can see - LTPP is just not attainable, but if I can somehow find out if I will need to qualify this year, plus one more for Platinum it would be helpful. Maybe I will get lucky and see that I have 2 years of Marriott earned status that counts and basically all I need to get LTP is hitting 600 nights, not even another year.

Thoughts?
