To view your cumulative years of status at each level, log into your Marriott or SPG account and then visit https://www.marriott.com/rewards/myA...ightDetails.mi

Until you merge accounts, the summary will show only the stats for whichever legacy program account youre logged into (and not your combined totals in the new program).

Why does my Marriott lifetime elite total show several years of Plat status? I was Gold in the past, but never earned Plat.
Confusingly, Marriott has changed the terminology for elite levels in the new program. In the past, Gold meant you had 50+ nights in one year; going forward, Gold is the 25-night level & members who stay 50+ nights are Plat.

As a result, all prior years at the old, harder-to-earn Gold level are treated as Plat in the new program. Heres how Starwood Lurker explained things in the wiki (FAQ B4) at https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/star...tml#lifeheader:
Past years at applicable Marriott Rewards and Ritz-Carlton Rewards Elite Night levels will be counted in the following way:
Previous Member Level -> New Member Tenure Level
Years at Silver Elite (10 nights) Years count as Silver Elite
Years at Gold Elite (50 nights) Years count as Platinum Elite
Years at Platinum Elite (75 nights) Years count as Platinum Elite
Years at Platinum Premier Elite (unpublished) Years count as Platinum Elite
Past years in SPG Elite levels will be counted in the following way:
Previous Member Level -> New Member Tenure Level
Years at Gold Preferred (25 nights) Years count as Gold Elite
Years at Platinum Preferred (50/75/100 nights) Years count as Platinum Elite
The years that members achieved Elite status due to credit cards will count towards Lifetime status.

Years of status is available

Does not appear to be any such equivalent for those of us without life status atm.

Thanks @ajwright

It seem that it depends on whether you log in using your Marriott or SPG credentials. Same website but different data showing.

Can only speak for iOS users but the new SPG and Marriott apps are available to download.

Each app separately shows my "Lifetime Status" with "Nights" and "Years as Silver Elite or Higher" numbers. I don't have lifetime status now but the numbers I see give me confidence that I'll pick up lifetime silver when I merge accounts.

Hope this is a work in process because my member since date and lifetime stays and elite years count is way off.

Mine is way off too I think. I think that for me the years at the various status levels is only with SPG data and the nights is only Marriott.

It seems like the Year as Platinum doesn't count the year when I finished the platinum challenge.

The only glaring mistake I'm seeing is, on the Marriott side, 6 years of Plat AND 6 years of Plat and Gold. The latter could be true if UA RewardsPlus Gold is being counted, but the former number is total bunk. I'm not LT anything on SPG and cannot locate yearly numbers to see if they transferred accurately.

I'm still seeing different numbers in the SPG and Marriott apps too, wonder when those will be added together.

Maybe I’m missing something, but shouldn’t those two numbers on the Marriott side be equivalent for everyone at this point? There wasn’t a 25-night level (new Gold) before, so your years of (new) Plat—including past years at (old 50-night) Gold—should be identical to Plat&Gold years.

In other words, only going forward will people accumulate credit years of (new 25-night) Gold status.

Right?

Interesting that we I clicked on this link (https://www.marriott.com/rewards/myA...ightDetails.mi), I see 0s for the years. In mobile apps, the years are correct.

You're right, I was looking at it from a legacy MR perspective, where I was Plat only 1 year, and that's a vision I need to do away with. Guess I'm looking at LTPP for whatever that's worth.

Im not sure I understand you. Does it make a difference to your argument if one notes that It says 6 years as Gold or Platinum? Also I have never had any earned status on Marriott (Matched Gold from UA & more recently Matched Plat from SPG) and Im also showing 5 years as Platinum.

There may be some rare exceptions but otherwise this makes sense.

Let me spell out my post: UA gave Gold, which I had for 4 or 5 years (turns out 5 but I wasn't sure). Only one year was Plat and in that context then the 6 years of Plat was an anomaly. However since old Gold is now new Plat, in that context, as Beltway mentioned, it's as accurate as I can tell.
