As it is, my wife and I are simply making the best out of the current circumstances.
We are both life members of the Admirals Club and the United Club, so "de facto" lifetime Premier Silver through LTT would be mighty fine.
I hope you mean $40k short because LTT is not worth $400k.
. Would you feel otherwise if the new LTT criteria is $400k?
the fact is regardless on how it got mapped, you are still getting lifetime platinum. Count the shift per your comparison as one of the devaluations.
if Marriott was smart (term used loosely here)(and probably in the works as an enhancement), is to make platinum like Hilton gold. Keep breakfast for platinums since that’s what most cherish, and lounge for titaniums and ambassadors. This way, it’ll still keep the lifetime platinum members engaged and
continue to stay to achieve titanium+ (For lounge benefits) and those that are content with (whatever is left of the) platinum breakfast benefits. For sure the most happy of customers of Marriott will be the properties not having to foot the lounge costs, though some property may just let breakfast eligible platinum use the lounge breakfast because it’s cheaper. It’s coming folks.
