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).

I got the same email. They incremented my # of years as platinum by one year. Still LTP. I was about 20 nights shy of 750 in the year they gave out LTT. Now I am at 850+ but still LTP.

I was curious what that "Update made to your account" email was all about. Years since they swallowed SPG and Marriott still does not have their act together. What a mess, so glad I don't have to chase nights at Marriott anymore...

My numbers were updated to 36 years at Elite, 35 at Platinum, both up by one.
Thank goodness! Now all of those extra benefits I've been missing can come rolling in....

This has to be a joke - I’m still at nothing. No email, no update, the same nine damn years. You'd think after chasing them with emails, screenshots, phone calls and endless notes on their systems that this would be immediately included in their updates, but no.
UGH. No way.

The post in the Marriott Bonvoy Insiders Facebook group confirming the emails and updates to Lifetime years is very entertaining. Many, many comments underneath it highlighting how widespread the missing years problem is and how exasperated people are. Whatever is going on with some accounts, it doesn't appear to be fixing this issue once and for all. Not even close. But we must be thankful that finally we have a confirmed acknowledgement from corporate that there is an issue and somebody, somewhere, cares enough to start fixing it.
I'm still holding my breath for my email and feverishly checking my lifetime count every hour or so.
