Lifetime Status Details: https://help.marriott.com/s/article/Article-22145
Elite processing: https://help.marriott.com/s/article/Article-34363
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.

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 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.

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:
- 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).

Anybody mistakenly gotten a higher status than they should?
I don't see how I qualified for LTPP, but it is showing that. I definitely qualified for PP this year, and have for the past few years, but just don't have enough history to qualify for LTPP.

Hmmmm, the responses suggest that perhaps I may have understood lifetime status wrong. I thought that the only way to achieve lifetime platinum premier was to reach lifetime platinum in the old program, before the end of the year (which requires 10yrs platinum + 750 nights + 2MM points). It would not be available for earning in 2019 and beyond. Did I misunderstand that, and worry needlessly about reaching 2MM points?

I'd have purchased the 2,000 points already just to make sure and to get the LTPP status as well as current PP status before the end of the year.....or I'd have done a stay to get those points, which should be pretty easy with the right new (for you) brand. Having something post on December 29th would make me very nervous.

"NOTE: Members who reach 750 nights and 10 years at Platinum by December 31, 2018, will be grandfathered into Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status (notified January 2019). In addition, members that achieve Marriott Rewards Lifetime Platinum under the legacy requirements by year end will also be grandfathered into Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status. And don’t forget that we’ll combine Lifetime activity across both Rewards and SPG toward qualification when members combine accounts. Beginning in 2019, qualification into Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status will not be available. See FAQs for details."

Thanks, everyone! I was not aware of the 10Y Pt / 750 nights option - that's what I get by not revisiting this since when I had first heard about it in the summer. So, it would appear that I should get LTPP during the sweep in January, based upon what I already have reached. Sweet! (I've been striving for this mainly to keep the 48-hour room availability, would hate to lose that by not being LTPP...)

I don't think anyone knows what the cycle for MPG is for bumping the year counter today. The two programs had different routines and no bets on which one survived, or if either survived. I do not believe being combined or not is going to make a difference and the years will be calculated correctly (at least I'm hoping) once they do the January sweep. We won't know for sure until it's way too late.

To me, this is not ambiguous that you don't need the 2MM points, from way at the bottom of https://members.marriott.com/benefits/ But of course if you qualified the old way, which had the points requirement, then you'd also get LTPP:

Is it true? Lifetime PP will be unable to be attained after Dec 31 2018?
My friend told me that is what he read somewhere. Is that true? I mean, why are they cutting that off and just allowing Lifetime Platinums instead? Makes no sense to me.
