To tell someone who could show let's say 1m MR points and 1.5m converted SPG points he does not qualify because there may be additional uncounted points seems the better approach.
I have over 2MM MR points and over 2MM SPG points, but I will only have about 700 MR nights. If SPG nights are added, I am well over the 750 night threshold. In spite of what William has stated, there are still quite a few people posting her that don't believe that I will become LTPP. If combined nights and MR only points don't count, converted SPG points have no chance of being used for qualification.
