I am a SPG member who stayed over 500 nights already, which is one of the 2 threshold that need to be attained to get the Lifetime platinum status, but i only got 7 years of elite status, which is 3 years short of the 10 years requirement. I know i haven't fulfilled both criteria, but do you think there will be a chance for me to get the lifetime platinum status after the SPG program combined with Marriott? Because i am done with the nights already, and i just need to keep the elite status for 3 more years, which should not be a problem for me if the SPG program still exist....but now i am 70% complete and the program got merged. Any chance i can fight for getting the lifetime platinum premier if i keep the elite status in the coming 3 years?
