It sounds like you might be having the same issue I had. Looking at your profile, you might be Platinum Premier. I am as well. Most people with Platinum Premier can log in, go to their Overview page, and see a link to choose your benefits for Platinum and Platinum Premier. I didn't have that link.
So the way to do this without the link is as following:
Go to Overview
Scroll down to Benefits
Select Benefits Overview
Scroll down until you see your status
Select View Benefits under your status level
At that point, I was prompted to select my Platinum benefits first, and then my PP benefits after that. However, you have to have 50 or 75 nights to do this. If status was reached on a challenge without 50 nights for Platinum or 75 nights for PP, then it probably won't work.
Good luck!

And then? I get a login page to the "old" SPG website where it wants a username and password - except it will not accept my old SPG username/pass, my new SPG account number, or my master Marriott account number.
Anyone have any idea how I get past that?
Would love to know as well... frustrating!

Is there anything that can be done a part form calling?
Before applying a SNA I would like to know the room options.

the more likely the upgrade could go through. I had two choices, Presidential Suite and Suite (I chose both). I added to an existing reservation. 1st time trying to use a SNA so we'll see.

At least, that’s always been true for the legacy SPG properties whenever selecting SNAs to apply. Who knows whether Marriott IT allows that for the legacy Marriott brands for which SNAs are eligible.

This is for applying a SNA on a SPG booking made prior integration.
But I have technical difficulties to apply the SNA
”after clicking START UPGRADE REQUEST

I found this link that sent me straight to the Choice Benefits page.

Christina,
I have found this to be the issue for a number of reservations as well, for what it’s worth. In my case, it was with legacy SPG properties for reservations made prior to program integration, after I merged my accounts (choosing to merge from the MR “old” account number).
Hope that helps isolate it.

I want to thank the SPGCHAMPION team here for their usual help, they have been able to correct the posting of my 25 night stay which apparently went to a wrong account which was not mine.

I have same issue for few weeks- for booking done after integration-- and at all SPG properties I have reservations now at. Marriott ones work fine.

Here's my situation... SPG Platinum at 50 nights prior to July 27th... Received 10 Suite Night Awards
Also, over 300 nights at Marriott prior to July 27th (lots of travel this year and rollover and 7 meetings)
The 10 Suite night awards from SPG transferred over when I combined. Then I go to pick my 50 and 75 night benefits on Marriott's website, on the 50 night gift page, no matter which option I pick, after I check the two boxes and confirm, I get a message saying "We are sorry, this benefit is currently unavailable. Please try again later"
I have been checking every day for two weeks and get the same message everytime. And since I can't pick the 50 night gift, I dont get the opportunity to pick the 75 night gift.
Any ideas?
