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).

Anyway, .... nothing we can do, only time can tell.
Can’t have it both ways… under your quotes terms, if you earn in 2016, you will get a status year. Only if you earn or requalify counts for subsequent years… so if you don’t requalify in 2017, 2017 doesn’t count…

so under the 2010 to 2018 sample… under what you quoted it’s still 8 years for 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017… so unless 2018 was earned, under your quote, it won’t count. And if the 2018 was earned, then the poster would have listed it as 2010-2019.

Under Marriott, the year after counts (changed last year of course), so it’s the same overall pre new terms.

please cite a pre2020 terms and conditions whether it’s from Marriott or SPG. Happy to be wrong about this so people can get their lifetime correct because Marriott sure heck ain’t going by your understanding.

In my case, I have been a giving Platinum every year since 2016. I also achieve it this year too. The counter still shows only 4 years of Platinum.

What would you suggest ?

Don't have it. But what I know is that earning year, is considered your qualifying year. It's just it takes them to the following year for the counter to go up.

suggest you do what it is best for your situation. Don’t hang onto terms that may not apply to you.

yeah, that’s the answer when one already is halfway to their goal

so 2010 earned to 2017, lapsing in 2018 is 8 years? Unless you say 2010 earned to 2018 lapsing in 2019, then it’s 9 years?

In short, if you earned it in year 1 and year 2, but not in year 3 (even though you actually are Platinum). Only year 1 and 2 counts given it is considered as qualifying year.

So how did you get 9 years from 2010 to 2018?

you are assuming the poster that was responding to meant he or she earned 2018, then yes… if I earned 2018, I would post I have platinum from 2010 to 2019.

I was the poster that was responding . However, in your logic, then it should be platinum from 2011 to 2019.

Let's not forget the discussion was regarding LTT, which meant if 2018 was your 10th year (of qualifying), then you should be eligible for it.

Lol… yes you were.

under Marriott’s counting, 2011 to 2019. Under SPG, apparently is 2010 to 2018… so you are really stuck somewhere in the middle of “Marriott don’t give a… whatever you want to call it” and “we don’t have that info to give you LTT.” Not sure what you can do so many years after the fact.

I gave up around 2 years ago. So not looking for anything really. Unless an Angel (Lurker) comes in and saves the day.

this partially proves my point upthread that member calculation and/or method is not the same as Marriott and how they interpret the terms of status years. Anyways… you made LTP, time to go elsewhere

Not really. I don't want to do the whole qualifying thing again. I'm happy just to enjoy the benefits for now.

I made Diamond with Accor by accident. But those guys are way worse than Marriott.
