Showed originally as Plat but downgraded to Gold to today as well. Oh, well I'm Diamond with Hilton so I will just stay with them going forward (for both breakfast and lounge access). Had Marriott kept the "old gold" benefits I would have had around 20 nights with them this year but I'm just as fine with now booking Hilton.

Oddly mine has not (yet) been changed to Gold... perhaps as more data is populated as my account activity is moved over as part of the merge process it will be

How long is it since you merged your accounts? The official stance is that all accounts at the moment is showing the correct current Elite Status unless your current status is lower than your LT status. MAR are still trying to reconcile the migrated and combined LT nights and years with the displayed LT status and the implied current status.

Considering the issues I've been having with my SPG Amex, if I slip through the cracks in this area for four-five months, I'll take it.

Mine still shows (two days after merging Plat - Plat) as Platinum ..... maybe because the Amex SPG Gold was not “active” anymore .... cancelled the Amex a few month back but the Gold status stuck to the account

It's been a month since the last post to this thread. Does anyone have any recent experience as to their actual status once they have combined their SPG Gold (obtained through AMEX Plat benefit) with their Marriott? I have Gold with Marriott because of Gold status match from SPG side but I almost never use my SPG account. I haven't combined my account yet so curious to know of folks' recent experience.

It was always that the 75 night level @ MR was required to get the UA Silver through RewardsPlus. So the title changed (75 night level was Platinum in legacy MR and Plat Premier in modern MR), but the nights/status requirement for the match did not.

I have combined my accounts, and am new-Gold. With the Marriott and Starwood nights combined I would have Gold anyway (26 so far this year) so the card status is irrelevant.
Shame that I can't stack earned Gold, Amex Plat-granted Gold, and SPG Luxury-granted Gold to get Platinum or Platinum Premier, or at least new-Gold with the old-Gold 4pm late checkout added to it....
