01/01/2023 is the right date for the end of the Covid-era extensions to points expiration. My understanding though is that Lifetime members are exempt from points expiry (as per T&Cs posted in the thread wiki).

Is this just a sloppy mail shot that hasn’t been thought through properly, or do Lifetime members points now expire ?
Dark forces have been at work. Follow-up email received :

CORRECTION: Your Points Will Not Expire
We sincerely apologize for the error.

Thank you for being a Marriott Bonvoy® Lifetime Elite member.
