FAQ from members.marriott.com
Q: CAN I EARN LIFETIME STATUS UNDER THE LEGACY REQUIREMENTS (ACTIVE PRIOR TO AUGUST 2018) FOR LIFETIME ELITE STATUS IN MARRIOTT REWARDS, RITZ-CARLTON REWARDS OR SPG? IF SO, WHEN WILL I BE NOTIFIED OF MY LIFETIME ELITE STATUS?
A: Yes, in addition to earning based on the new criteria, members can earn Lifetime Elite Status under the legacy requirements through the end of 2018. If Lifetime status is achieved by legacy requirements, between August and December 31, 2018 you will receive notice of your updated Lifetime Elite status in January 2019. If Lifetime status is achieved based on the new criteria, you will be notified both in August 2018 as well as any time it is achieved through the end of the year.
Example: An SPG member has 300 Lifetime nights, 4 years of Gold Elite Status, and 1 year of Platinum Elite Status after August, 2018. Under the SPG legacy Lifetime requirements, this member would earn Lifetime Gold Elite status which would reflect in their account January 2019.
Q: IF I WILL NOT BE GRANDFATHERED INTO LIFETIME PLATINUM PREMIER ELITE, WILL I HAVE THE ABILITY TO EARN INTO THIS LEVEL IN 2018?
A: Yes, members can earn Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite in 2018 if they achieve 750 Lifetime nights and 10 years at Platinum Elite status. This requirement is only for 2018 and will not be continued in future years. Members will receive notice of this Lifetime achievement in January 2019.

I am confused. I thought SPG LTP with over 750 nights and ten years on Aug 18 would get Lifetime Plat Premiere Elite on Aug 18. I have not gotten that in my account.
Has anyone gotten LPPE?
I thought people who got over 750 nights after combining accounts or by qualifying after Aug 18 but before Dec 31 would get LPPE in January.
I am seeing conflictings reports with some saying we should have gotten and Marriott says all accounts reflecting properly. Others say to wait

Both the total nights and total YTD dollar spend still seem to be bouncing around and not yet correct. Any idea as to when these items will be remedied on both the website and app? Thanks.

I've tried my best to obtain the answer from this thread without much luck.
When the app says "Years As Plat Elite or Higher" when does it roll over? Does it wait til the end of the year or immediately after obtaining Plat status that year?
The reason I ask is that I'm on the cusp. The app shows that I have already obtained plat this year and that I have 9 years total at plat or higher.
Question: Will I be grandfathered in come 1/2019 or am I behind by a full year?

I already merged accounts and have 10 yrs plat but only 735 nights so not expecting LTPP
But I am wondering how to find LT points?? Only points I now have in my account are displayed ( just used a bunch for a European trip and have used many throughout the years)

There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer here. Some say annually, some say anniversary date, and some say earned date). When did or have you earned status for next year yet? Do you have any status years in the MR program? Those should add once combined and if you get nudged into LTPP status (>750 LT nights and >10 years Platinum status).

GIven LT points will have no value going forward, I do not expect them to provide that data. Your best bet would have been to do a screenshot of your MR account before 8/18 (fire up your wayback machine). But I thought I saw a point balance being displayed when others attempted to combine their accounts. If the number is important to you, you might try an email requesting the data. I wouldn't expect it to get an immediate response and holding off until things settle out may be wise.

I took screenshots of my account before 8/18. While on a call about something else, a MPG rep confirmed that they can see current balance even if we can’t. I was over 2 MM points on 8/17 and my current balance was as expected.
