My account seems to be working well right now with several stays posting etc., I needed to combine to keep my Plat status which I just hit the 50 nights this past weekend.
ps... I understand with the new benefits you get them "the year of".....absolutely useless for me now in the middle of December getting suite nights or 5 more nights added to my status. I liked the old way and made much more sense to have your Plat gifts given for the next calendar year. Literally useless for me right now.

appreciate the DP. im still holding out. but great to know your nights combined and the 75 night gift selection option showed up.
have a few questions hoping you can answer:
1) reps have told me there are issues when you use the same E-Mail address on both accounts. meaning, "duplicate email" error occurs and your account gets locked. did you use the same email address? everything worked? not sure how true this warning is.
2) which account did you keep? not that it matters, but i am wondering what other items get merged over besides your activity? CC on file? preferences? differences in names such as middle initial or no middle initial?
3) lastly, i can no longer find my SPG legacy activity screen in my SPG profile. do you still see it after the merge? not sure which account you have kept, but do you still have access to that? i shouldve have saved all that legacy data last month!
