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.

My (98% SPG) LTP kicked in this past week. I'm at 88 nights combined this year with PPE status, so I *should* be getting LTPP in January, right?

It's the LTPP status in the combined program, for those not already MR LTP prior to 8/18, that won't show until January.

My Marriott status was correctly updated to LTPP sometime in the last 2 days, so updates are still taking place in the system.

Good, but you're MR LTP so you qualified for new LTPP under the legacy MR rules. This says nothing about getting LTPP before January for those who are hopefully qualifying under the alternate paths.

Also, any idea of when the most recent (pre-combination) SPG stays will be posted correctly?
Thanks.

So my MR account, with the stats above, that was LTP, is now a MR account with the same stats above, and still LTP, not LTPP.
It's the LTPP status in the combined program, for those not already MR LTP prior to 8/18, that won't show until January.

(assuming you were not already MR LTP. If you also were MR LTP, as I was, you should now be new program LTPP. If that's not showing, as it wasn't for me, you should contact CS/Lurkers and have it fixed)

Why the "sic"? You're = you are: Good, but you are MR LTP.....
Trying to change the sentence to read "your MR LTP...." with the possessive form leaves it with no verb before the "so" clause.

This seems a bit inaccurate or misleading in that what you fail to make clear is that current MR LTPs who have already qualified for legacy MR LTP (750 nights and 2,000,000 lifetime points from MR properties only) before August 18th are already LTPP in the new combined program. Your statement that legacy MR LTPs WILL BE grandfathered into LTPP fails to make this distinction; the future tense applies to MR LTPs only if they did not attain their legacy MR LTP status until after August 18th.
