How will my Eligible Status Years for 2022 be applied to my Account and when?

If you maintained the same Elite status in 2022 that you started with in 2022 , your 2022 Eligible Status Year for your current status will be applied to your Account in January 2023.

If you achieved a higher Elite status during 2022, your 2022 Eligible Status Year for the new, higher tier was applied at the time of achievement.

If you did not meet the published criteria to renew your current status in 2022, your 2022 Eligible Status Year for your current status will be added in January 2023, and your Eligible Status Year for your new status will be added in March 2023 when your Elite status is updated.

===

When will my 2021 qualifying year of Elite status be applied to my Account so I can track my path to Lifetime Elite Status?


As part of our regular process, Members receive their qualifying year towards Lifetime Elite status in one of two ways:
  1. If you maintain the same Elite level that you started the year with, your Qualifying Year of Elite status will be applied to your Account in January of the following year. Please Note: In November 2021, when we extended the Elite status that Members earned in 2019 or 2020, Members received their 2021 Qualifying Year of Elite status.
  2. If you achieve a higher Elite level during the year than the previous year, your Qualifying Year for the new, higher level will be applied at the time of achievement. Please Note: If you achieved a higher Elite level during 2021, your 2021 qualifying year of Elite status, was applied at the time of achievement.

If you maintain the same Elite level for 2022, your 2022 year of Elite status will be applied to your Account in January 2023. If you achieve a higher Elite level during 2022, your 2022 year of tenure for the new, higher level will be applied at the time of achievement.

Examples:
  • A Member achieved Gold Elite in 2019 and enjoyed the status in 2020. They received their 2020 year of Gold Elite status in July 2020 when we extended their status. Due to status extensions, the Member received their 2021 year of tenure in November 2021 when they their status was extended to February 2023.
  • A Member achieved Platinum Elite in 2020 and enjoyed the status in 2021. They received their 2021 year of Platinum status in November 2021 when they their status was extended to February 2023.
  • A Gold Elite Member achieved Platinum Elite in April 2021; the Platinum year of Elite status for 2021 was applied upon achievement (in April 2021).

i remember reading something to that effect as well on the 50 nights. So what happened to the 25 stays platinum and the number of years? I know personally I had a few 25-stay platinum years at SPG.

mine is counting all years regardless of where they came from. Buy-back, earned, matched, gifted. Sounds like she was making up stuff as it fit her needs.

as it has been stated many times in this thread, 2020 renewal has not been adjusted yet in many cases ... wait a few days. It should be 4 years.

I THINK she was only referring to the new Marriott bonvoy program years...

I HAVE a feeling she was referring to the new program only, I sure do hope she was making it up, but worse case scenario I will need ONE more year later on...

Has anyone else stuck without their lifetime years updating since the merger in January 2019 successfully got Marriott to update without providing a screenshot? I got Lifetime Gold under the update Lifetime requirements (400 nights, 7 years), and I've been stuck at 7 years since. I first called Marriott, they never followed-up with a response after 3 weeks, and then after using their online form they are asking to me provide the burden of proof with a screenshots from 2019. I had no reason to take a screenshot of my lifetime years between then and now (in hindsight, with all their IT issues then...) so now I'm stuck with no way to prove their own systems failures. This is beyond frustrating that they are putting such an unreasonable burden of proof on me and won't even properly check their own systems when I've spent 822 nights with them far.

To Marriott Bonvoy Lurker :

Can you find out what the following cards are made from that Marriott sent to its Lifetime Titanium members (and post back here what you found):



Thanks!

It didn't.

I, along with many, many others, have documented proof (well, screenshots) showing the status at the end of 2019 and the status now. End of 2019 I was on 7 Platinum LifeTime years. I had the 2019 qualifying year added somewhere around March so the increment went correctly to 8 Platinum LifeTime years. I scored over 75 nights by the end of 2020 (including the gifted nights) and my count remains at 8 Platinum LifeTime years.

This isn't mass psychosis. Many of us didn't get our 2020 qualifying year incremented in July 2020 and we have the proof. People are asking this question on FlyerTalk and elsewhere. It's very widespread.

No need to bother the Lurker, simply open your home chemistry set and:

Any titanium dissolved by the first extraction with acids is recovered in the following way : Sulphuretted hydrogen is passed into the acid solution, and any precipitate that may be formed is filtered off. The filtrate is oxidised, and the iron, aluminium, and titanium are separated as basic acetates (see under Iron). The precipitate is dried and fused with bisulphate of potash. The “melt” is extracted with cold water, filtered if necessary, and the solution rendered first faintly alkaline with ammonia, then very slightly acid with sulphuric acid. 30 or 40 c.c. of a saturated solution of sulphurous acid is added, and the oxide of titanium precipitated by prolonged boiling. It is filtered off, added to the precipitate previously got, ignited with ammonic carbonate towards the end, and then weighed.

Titanium Detection

Titanium is detected in an insoluble residue by fusing the residue for some time in a bead of microcosmic salt. In the reducing flame it gives a violet colour, which becomes reddish-brown if much iron is present. In the oxidising flame it gives a colourless or whitish bead. It is best detected in acid solutions by the deep brown or iodine colour developed on adding hydroxyl. A solution of this can be prepared by pouring peroxide of barium (BaO2) diffused in water into dilute hydrochloric acid (a little at a time); and keeping the acid in excess.

It’s not magnetic. I’m thinking it might be stainless steel (even though I know some stainless steels are magnetic).

I’m sadly reminded of the departed, and very likable, chemist661, who could of solved all our problems were he still with us.

Luckily, Bonvoy maintains a chemical research center as noted by the Lurker, and Director Walter White will likely finish the assaying in no time.
