Need advice on how to proceed in following situation:
SPG:
334 nights,
Lifetime SPG points: 200,000 (approx, includes 50K credit card points)
Marriott:
692 nights ,
Lifetime MR Points: 1,484,000 (currently lifetime silver)
Questions:
- What will be the best strategy to get the highest lifetime status with the above data in new merged program? fyi, I will be not travelling this year except 4-5 days hotel stay.
- Is lifetime platinum status possible in this scenario?
- I was thinking of adding another 100K MR sign-up bonus points by applying for MR Premier credit card to reach lifetime gold MR status (500 nights,1.6 million points). I can do this by end of August or before.
Thanks!
How many points do you currently have? Do you have another person in your household? You could do this if you have points to do so:
1) transfer all your points into SPG
2) transfer all SPG points to someone else in your household's account
3) have them transfer all SPG points in their account into their MR account
4) have them transfer all MR points in their account to your account
Rinse and repeat.
