Initially, I was told that the cutoff date was in April of this year. Like other things, the last date to qualify did also. I thought it was proper to give those with 750 SPG nights and 10 years of status, even though I would not have met that standard. I agree that there should have been more notice before closing the opportunity to earn LTPP. I have earned 2MM+ MR Points and 2MM+ SPG points. By early 2019, I expected to have 750+ MR nights. By shifting stays around I could have completed 10 combined years of Platinum equivalent status in 2019. So, under every current or proposed way to earn LTPP, I could have made it

As I mentioned earlier, I am not certain that I will end up as LTPP with >750 combined nights and >2MM MR points. Since I value United Silver more than many on FT, I will miss out on more than some posters realize if I remain at LTP. My biggest complaint isn't that I may miss a final opportunity to achieve LTPP, but the changing criteria and the lack of definitive answers about what qualifies. William is a fantastic representative and I appreciate the time he has spent responding to both reasonable and unreasonable questions, but a Lurker should be a supplement and not a substitute for direct information from MPG.
