Are the STAYS pre-8/18? yes, those will absolutely count for STAY qualification
Post - 8/18? It is a bit murky, but I wouldn't count on it. Single toom STAYS count. Multi room ... I would not bank making the threshold based on them.

They made good on it for me (qualifying post 8/18 - manual request) but I went thru legacy SPG and not Marriott.
My recommendation is not to count on the "sweep". If you have crossed the 25 STAY threshold, you have qualified, and should be eligible for status bump for the remainder of this year..(same a crossing the threshold for nights).
I you have the documentation, send it in and request the status.
Its not that they are not going to honor the promise. Rather, the Technology platform may or may not recognize it in an automated manner. You can either request it manually now...or wait and see if the sweep works... and THEN request it manually, if it doesn't. But if you have met the threshold already....why wait? You can use the status immediately for any remaining stays this year.
