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:

It's a bit buried. After you login go to the Overview page, scroll down the page to just below the section with an overview of your current status and there should a lifetime bar. Mine says "You are Lifetime Silver Elite", not sure what it will say if you don't have any lifetime status - I assume it will still be there.

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.

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.

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.

Maybe Im missing something, but shouldnt those two numbers on the Marriott side be equivalent for everyone at this point? There wasnt a 25-night level (new Gold) before, so your years of (new) Platincluding past years at (old 50-night) Goldshould be identical to Plat&Gold years.
In other words, only going forward will people accumulate credit years of (new 25-night) Gold status.

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.
