If I achieve this year again MR Platinum and/or SPG Platinum with total 10 or 11 Platinum years, would I be granted LTPPE from January 1st 2019?
Thank you a lot!
Can we rephrase these questions?
1. If I have 10 years Platinum Elite status between both programs will they count towards lifetime?
A: Yes, once you merge your accounts, both your lifetime nights and you years at Elite status (earned, not by status match) will be combined.
2. If I have 580 MR nights/3 years as Platinum Elite, and 280 SPG nights/6 years at Platinum and achieve Platinum this year, will I be granted Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite?
A: Once a member merges their accounts, their total years at Elite and Lifetime nights will be counted together. In this case the member would have 960 total nights and 10 years at Platinum Elite. They would earn Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status. (Members will receive notice of this status in January of 2019)
3. Can I also achieve Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status if I soley have 750+Marriott Rewards nights and the above years at Platinum Elite status? (750+ nights and 10 Years combined as Platinum Elite).
A: Yes, once a member merges their accounts in this example, they would have the required 750 nights and 10 years at Platinum Elite status to become a Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite member.
