SPG nights count toward new status (which is years and lifetime nights), and that's easy to tell online, but the legacy Marriott lifetime info disappeared a day or two after Aug 18 (i twas temporarily visible after the changeover). Without that coming back, it's hard to know (through experiments) what counts and what doesn't.
Since people can still earn annual status in both SPG and MR rewards this year, there should be a way to track nights in each program. Also,
if combined nights don't count for either the SPG or MR grandfathered lifetime levels, then there would need to be a way to track SPG and MR nights separately. On the other hand,
If combined nights count for lifetime status, then, except for 2018 stays, there is no need for a separate counter for each program .
