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.

What you see is the closest you're going to get. Over 750 LT nights and over 10 years of Plat status. Now just have to wait for their January sweep.

I'll be sitting at 700 nights by the end of the month. Unfortunately, it looks like I will fall just short of the 750 nights needed. Bleh.

Understood and thank you, but I was referring to the Hertz President's Circle qualification as a status match. Any idea of whether Platinum Premier or Platinum Premier with Ambassador will still receive Hertz President's Circle status under the merged program? Thank you.

Plat Premier status earns a match to Hertz Gold Five Star status.

Thank you. Is that under the new merged program? I haven't seen anything on these types of status matches under the new combined program.

No clue. I have Hertz PC through DL DM status.
