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).

The only nice thing about being Lifetime Titanium is that I never even look at my nights anymore. I know I won't hit Ambassador in a given year since I only travel for leisure now. I'm also a lot less loyal, especially when I know I'm not really going to get any benefits. Congrats to all those who became LT anything.

For what it's worth, no luck for me - my ticker hasn't gone up yet on either app or website. I qualified for PLT last year (after being TIT/AMB for last 5+ years) so perhaps the downgraded ones take longer to tick up. This will be my 10th yr once it goes, so looking forward to LTP
Curiously, if it takes longer than a week to increment, I'll already have earned platinum status for 2025 and thus the counter will be 2 years behind
... the joys of double EQNs!Should hit 600 nights by next year though.

Got the LT Platinum on both apps and website today. However, the milestone website still doesn't work for me. Does anyone know how long it takes for that website to be updated?

Oh no. I just logged into my account and my lifetime stats all disappeared, with years of silver, gold and plat all zero. However, the number of nights for 2023 and 2024 are still correct. My lifetime status just disappeared.

My lifetime plat came through today (or yesterday I suppose, I hadn't checked) as well. Was wondering what was going on as they'd already started crediting my nights for the year but my lifetime counter hadn't incremented. Oh well, glad that's finally ticked off.

No update yet?
Should be 10yrs LTP by now. But not yet updated? This is done by hand, like a manual audit? Amb this year so it doesn't matter, but it would be nice to finally cross this threshold.

My counter didn't increment early Jan, nor did it recently increment.
I actually don't even know for sure whether I should expect an increment at all... given the seemingly convoluted way Marriott decides when to increment the life time counter. Perhaps I'm just too dull to understand how Bonvoy works...

Bonvoy indeed works in mysterious ways...

My lifetime stats have reappeared after having mysteriously disappeared (my years of silver, gold and plat went to zero all of a sudden) and I have finally made lifetime plat without a heart attack. I was invited to claim a gift and watch the one minute ten second video from the CEO. Towards the end of the video were a number of associates saying thank you in different languages, including English, Spanish, German, but not French. So a company headquartered in Bethesda and names its loyalty program Bonvoy omits French in the thank you?
