If it would be possible to get to 750 nights Marriott only and 2 million Marriott points, one would have LTPP. That would require an awful lot of meetings and spend this year, possibly before August 1st, but I'm not sure it's literally impossible: something like one meeting almost every day (10 nights X 65 meetings = 650 nights) during the remainder of May, June, and July and alternating hotels to be sure that several days of meetings don't count as one meeting, plus buying a lot of expensive suites or maybe throwing a big lavish party at a Marriott to spend perhaps close to $200,000 depending on current lifetime MR points and the credit card being used. AFAIK there's no MR program rule that would prevent someone from earning far more than 365 nights in a single year.
