yes, because in this case, you are rewarded for procrastination. earlier in the account merging process, tons of issues. there are still ongoing issues, but many earlier ones have been addressed. waiting until the last minute ensures a smooth ride with all patches in place.

Also, given how small my lifetime Starwood print was (24 stays), this wasn't of major concern to me at least. Not with over 875 stays/nights on the Marriott/Ritz side and LT PP status earned, adding whatever remained on the Starwood side was less than consequential.

Great. So I combined.
- profile page now says "Congratulations! Your accounts are now combined! We're temporarily unable to display the information you requested. Please try again later."
- I have a link that says "You earned Benefit of Choice for staying 50 nights!" but when I click on it, it says "We're sorry, you're not yet eligible" (combined 80 nights now).
Ahh Marriott.

I had a weird situation come up with SPG last week. I'm a gold and called to do the platinum status challenge. The agent told me I was not eligible and seemed confused as to why this was the case. She combined my Ritz-Carlton and Marriott accounts and apparently that made me Platinum. She said she had never seen that happen before and wasn't sure how long I'd be platinum. It shows up as Platinum in my app, but I'm pretty confused at what happened here. Anyone else experience anything like this?

The more I read, the more confused I get. I think I'll just let it go. Too complicated for me. Crazy!

I was sending you to post # 405 of the Choice Benefits thread where the discussion of the broken link started..
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...enefit-27.html
If you want something other than SNAs, keep checking this link to see if it works. After Jan 14, you will be automatically assigned SNAs.
https://choice-benefit.marriott.com/
Marriott keeps telling us to wait 8-10 weeks for things to get fixed, so who knows when it will work again. Hopefully, they'll delay the Jan 14 cut off date.
