You might think that is clear, and it certainly is for any year before 2018. However, you might not have noticed that the past tense is used... "achieved"...
So for now we're relying on the word on the SPG Lurker, which I am inclined to believe but have my legitimate concerns about the IT implementation of it.
Another data point about "what management says will happen will happen" (but won't). The debacle about promising SPG Golds Marriott Platinum through the end of the year...

So I don't see how Marriott can promise their star IT department will track anything correctly in the future. "Intend to track", yes, "actually track", that requires functioning IT.
Exactly. The Marriott members website is useful, but is clearly intended for the 90% who just go about their business without caring too much about the finer details. Until there are proper T&Cs that cover all of the random and wonderful travel hacks we pursue, we can't know for sure.
