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).

Do you guys see hotels not posting platinum welcome gift points? I don't usually look too closely at my activity, just as long as my stays post, but I went through in detail and it seems like a few hotels consistently have missed my welcome gift points over the past year.

Two examples:
If you do an award stay on which all your earn is the check-in bonus, it might look like this: 1000 (0 + 0 + 1000).
But if you do a two night stay which earns 2000 bonus points from MegaBonus plus 1000 check-in bonus points, it'll look something like this: xxxx (yyyy + zzzz + 3000). You have to do your own math to take apart that "+ 3000" and know that 1000 of it is the check-in bonus while 2000 of it is from the Megabonus for a 2-night stay.

I qualified under the old Marriott T&Cs for the old Marriott LT Gold (500 nights & 1.6m points) in September last year. I read that the status has to be manually granted in the new year. Has anyone here already gotten his LT status? Should I reach out to my Ambassador and ask her to expedite it?
Thank you!
Thank you!

And given, you have Plat +Amb, there no loss of benefits by not having your LT status in place now.

They're just trying to be consistent. Since stays, points, and spend are not updating correctly, either. Marriott, batting a thousand on erroneous account information!

Lifetime Platinum Policy?
I have 10 years platinum and 588 nights so far. If I complete the remainder 12 nights when I am not platinum will I still get lifetime platinum? (In other words, do you have to earn the nights while platinum?)

I’m going to say no, since the first 49 nights you earned at the beginning of your Marriott status counted even though you had no status. Doesn’t make sense to require you to have status for the last 12.

No. The two requirements are independent of each other. It's not likely that SPG and Marriott tracked what your status was for each night anyway.

Question to Starwood Lurker IV:
Presently I am Platinum for Life.
I have 1436 lifetime nights

My question is I assume I qualify for Lifetime Titanium Status?
Thanks

You will get LTPP which will be renamed LTT. You have nearly double the requirements for LTPP.
