Hi William, I want to make sure I'm understanding your answer posted today to B8:
B8. Do Marriott members with 2MM uncombined lifetime MR points and with 750 combined lifetime MR nights and lifetime SPG nights qualify for LTPP?
This is exactly my situation in that I already have over 2MM uncombined MR points (legacy MR criteria for LTP), but want to utilize my combined MR and SPG lifetime nights (new combined program qualification for lifetime nights). Your answer doesn't specifically account for the scenario of utilization a combination of the two criteria (legacy for MR points/new combined program for nights) outlined asked in the question unless I am misreading your answer. Sorry this process of clarification has become taxing.
This was the answer to
B8:
Yes.This is confirmed at marriott.members.com under the Benefits and Lifetime tab where it specifically states, “You can also qualify for Lifetime status via the existing criteria for Rewards and SPG through December 31, 2018.” Existing legacy criteria for earning Lifetime Platinum Premier in MR/RCR is 750 Lifetime nights + 2MM Lifetime points. Also, in August, when members combine Rewards and SPG accounts, their lifetime nights across both programs count toward Lifetime Elite status in the new combined program. To be included in at previous thresholds for Rewards or SPG, members will have until December 31, 2018, to complete stays in order to achieve the Lifetime Elite status.
What exactly is lacking from this answer that needs further clarification?
