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.

As part of our regular process, Members receive their qualifying year towards Lifetime Elite status in one of two ways:
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.

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.

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:
- 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.
- 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).

There has been a lot of changes on how to earn LTPP, originally it was only for MR LTPs with no regard for SPG members. Then they added SPG LPT members with over 750 nights (which by default meant over 10 years status). Then they added those with combined nights greater than 750 and 10 years MR G, MR P, SPG P status. The last (as I recall) was those with over 750 combined nights and 2M points (given SPG didn't track points, or at least reported them, pretty much said those are MR points). MR wiggles a lot on things, sometimes good sometimes bad. Let's see how this all shakes out.

I've now completed one stay as a Plat Premier post-merger and it wasn't mentioned, nor was I upgraded. It felt exactly like a Marriott Gold pre-merger stay. So I'm starting to wonder what the fuss was about.
I'll hit 75 nights this year, so the SNAs will be new to me. Maybe that's worth getting excited for (?).

Let me correct this one for you:

Then they added SPG LPT members with over 750 nights (which by default meant over 10 years status). Then they added those with combined nights greater than 750 and 10 years MR G, MR P, SPG P, or: MR+SPG combined 10 years of elite (=G or higher) status. The last (as I recall) was those with over 750 combined nights and 2M points (given SPG didn't track points, or at least reported them, pretty much said those are MR points).

I read your answer in such a way as if the "years requirement" must be met as in either MR G years, or in MR P years, or in SPG P years. But this is not the case. The combined years across both programs count towards the "years requirement".
E.g. 8 years of MR G plus 2 years of SPG P are fine. Or 6 years of MR P plus 6 years of SPG P (which combined were even to represent 2 years more than necessary).

There is no metric to attain thresholds without nights; if you can't hit 750 then your point totals are entirely irrelevant and if you've already attained LTP then then there's nothing more without those nights.

But as the poster above me said, you'll definitely need to hit 750 nights.

If you are close to making LTPP based upon the legacy rules, then I'd suggest going for it, just to make sure. If you are missing the years but have the points then we will have to wait for the sweep at the end of the year (and a bit later) to see what they end up doing. I'm reading more and more posts about people that have chatted with some of the higher ups that admit they've missed the mark on some issues (i.e. Rewarding Events reductions).

Lifetime Status Screwy after program merger
Prior to the merger of the programs last month, I was SPG LT Platinum with ~820 nights and with my status match and updated terms, my Marriott account showed LT Premiere Platinum Elite (if I remember correctly) and I had something like 400 nights on Marriott so I was well over 1,000 nights on both.
I was looking at both my SPG & Marriott status today (logged into each site respectively and separately) and Marriott is only showing LT Silver Elite w/ Platinum annual. The SPG site shows me as LT Platinum Elite w/ Platinum Annual status?? From what I understood, if you were SPG LT Plat w/ >750 nights, you were grandfathered into LT PPE under the combined program. Is this just a hiccup in the system I can straighten out on the phone or ? I have not combined the programs yet.

I finally merged accounts... nights and points matched up perfectly, including recent stay nights, although my years of platinum was a little higher than expected. Not necessarily wrong though, I may have missed some.
Can please someone remind me if I have the old MR visa, do I still get my 15 elite nights this year, and will those count for lifetime status? If so then I only need a handful of nights before the end of the year beyond my expected stays to get LTPP.
I'm sure this has been covered but I can only find discussion about the new card that won't give elite nights until next year...
