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 would like to know too.

No joy in the stuck-at-9 platinum needle.

I crapped out on Bonvoy’s roulette wheel and, while we are mixing metaphors, in the words of long suffering fans from another “over-promising/under-performing” organization, the Chicago Cubs: “Wait ‘til next year “.

Prior to your 75th night, were you Platinum or Titanium?

Roger that!

However, I maintain my sense of humor. And perspective: with memorable redemptions and upgrades over the years the glass is well over half full.

In that Starwood decided to sell itself, Marriott was far from the worst suitor and the expanded platform better allowed to earn vocationally and spend aspirationally.

While Hilton has been my mainstay, as the end of business travel looms, lifetime Diamond is probably beyond my grasp. Yet, due to the merger lifetime Platinum appears but an IT upgrade away. It would be nice to get that hurdle off my to-do list.

My platinum years seemed to be stuck at 9 for quite sometime. I just hit titanium a few nights ago and finally I have 10 years of Platinum showing in the app. I also have 592 nights so LT Plat should happen for me soon. Any physical card for that/welcome kit I should expect?

So it's set. If you get a higher status, you get a year. If you “only” requalify, you won't. Should we ambassadors ask for a downgrade to platinum before reaching the nights for titanium?

It's true what they say: there's nowhere to go from the top but down.

As an Ambassador status member, I don't have a physical card and never had to use digital one either. Bookings would already show my status. I'm also LT Platinum but nada on any model scale properties

Elite years counter stops once lifetime status is achieved.

Lifetime Titanium - SNA?

I apologize in advance if this is a really stupid question. I think the answer is obvious, but here goes anyway:
Do Lifetime Titanium’s get SNAs each year, regardless of how many nights they’ve stayed?
