I can now see the Lifetime Status Statistics in the App. It shows:

Nights: 699
Years as Silver, Gold or Platinum: 17
Years as Gold or Platinum: 9
Years as Platinum: 9

My current Status: PLATINUM ELITE (I would assume it is the new 4 category status)
My current Lifetime Status is GOLD ELITE.

- Does the above 9 yrs as Platinum, include this year (because I was a GOLD pre-merger and now PLATINUM post merger). i.e. if I achieved Platinum Premier elite this year will I get the Lifetime Platinum Premier?

TIA
-
