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.

Sigh, emailed back the lurker who said my issue should be fixed in April and it's May and still showing only 9 years Lifetime instead of 10. They claimed that July 2020 nonsense again and I reiterated and re-attached the screen shot from March 9 2020 showing 9 years so obviously there was no update in July 2020. I earned Platinum Elite in 2020 so my counter should have moved to 10 years and it hasn't. I don't understand why they can't grasp simple math. We're not talking some convoluted bonus scheme but literally 9+1=10. I'm guessing they'll reply that they did in fact change it in July even though I gave them proof they didn't. Such a waste of time.

I really don't trust Marriott's IT system and reps to give me the straight accurate answer. So how are you guys keeping track of your lifetime nights? I haven't kept track at all and so I need ideas on where to quickly start counting.

The problem is even when you show them proof, they claim it was an error and they have to go by their numbers. After speaking to several ppl, its always the same thing. During the merger I lost nights and years with proof, they just claimed it was an error. I dont even get mad anymore, I might hit lifetime Diamond faster than lifetime Platinum. LOL, I just started in Oct 2020 with Hilton. You can take screenshots and then argue with them if you don't get your nights or years but its highly unlikely they will adjust it. If your that serious about it, start a log. Use excel and log the hotel, date, and number of nights. Then when your info doesnt match up you have hard proof. You need to actually make an effort more then screenshots, which if im honest I should have done. Who knew #bonvoyed would be real at the time.

Paradoxically, they seem to have more problem with the years than the nights.
Keep track of both as you go.
