Then your question is moot.
Probably around November I will merge my legacy Marriott into my new SPG/Marriott to accrue the 25 lifetime and 12 YTD nights and take me to 75 YTD for 2018.
Actually, I'm trying to book everything from my SPG account as it reflects my Ambassador status whereas the Marriott account only has me as PP. Unfortunately, sometimes I forget which account I'm in! Some of my January stays are in the Marriott account, so I should be combined by then too.
