For the avoidance of doubt, you hit Plat in December *2020* and got a year added to the LTP count *when*?
You've hit Plat again already in 2021 (no stays, purely CC and gifted nights): this LTP year will be added in January 2022 according to the Marriott notice so that's normal.
I'm really interested in your first point. If you got a year added to the LTP count after you hit Plat in December 2020 then this is a new scenario that nobody has reported here before IIRC and indicates even more randomness in the application of lifetime years from 2020 qualification that we previously thought.
