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.

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).

Lifetime Status Changes with Bonvoy
Not sure if this was discussed, but just read this today. https://www.travelcodex.com/complete...vhyuvC7XOFv0jI
Requirements for elite status include a mix of qualifying elite nights and years of status at that tier or higher. You may have met one of these requirements and not the other, but you must meet both to receive lifetime status.
Does this mean Lifetime Plat Premiers will be downgraded-after just being upgraded with the program merger? I will be Titanium on current stay patterns, but hadn't expected to lose those benefits if that changed based on Lifetime status I had earned.
Lifetime Elite Status
Interestingly, Marriott Bonvoy will let you earn lifetime status in its three lowest tiers (Silver, Gold, and Platinum) but not with its two highest tiers (Titanium and Ambassador). I say this is interesting because most other programs only allow you to earn lifetime status with the highest tier.Requirements for elite status include a mix of qualifying elite nights and years of status at that tier or higher. You may have met one of these requirements and not the other, but you must meet both to receive lifetime status.
- Lifetime Silver Elite: 250 lifetime nights and 5 years Silver Elite status or higher
- Lifetime Gold Elite: 400 lifetime nights and 7 years Gold Elite status or higher
- Lifetime Platinum Elite: 600 lifetime nights and 10 years Platinum Elite status or higher

Those of us that have gained LTPP do expect that to continue with Bonvoy (even if under a different name). Those that haven't do have the option to earn PP status each year to get the associated perks.

You should have status for whatvere is higher -- what you earned for the current year or the lifetime status. There is no way you'd be capped at your lifetime level as that is your fallback status. In other words you would never drop below your lifetime level but could always earn via the published qualification levels a higher status.

This is not new. Even with the current (new) program, you can not earn LTPP status. Only those that met requirements by the end of 2018 were grandfathered into LTPP. I don't see Ambassador as a tier, but more of a status/benefit within Platinum Premier just like 50 & 75 night choice. All three require active participation earning nights/$s each and every year.

Back in April 2018, Marriott announced four lifetime elite tiers in the combined loyalty program, effective August 19, 2018: Lifetime Silver Elite, Lifetime Gold Elite, Lifetime Platinum Elite, and Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite.
The first three would have new, published requirements (compared to old Marriott Rewards or old SPG). The fourth would only be for those who would be grandfathered in — based on existing lifetime status or on lifetime status achieved it in 2018.
As far as lifetime status is concerned, the only thing that will change with the Marriott Bonvoy branding on February 13 is that Platinum Premier Elite will be renamed Titanium Elite — so Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite will be renamed Lifetime Titanium Elite.

Marriott has been pretty consistent in saying this is only a change in naming/branding. People aren’t dropping in lifetime status, nor are Titaniums gaining new perks as others have reported.
It wouldn’t make a lot of sense to announce the last date to achieve LTPP was 12/31/18 and then eliminate the level a month and a half later.

Those of you reporting having shown Lifetime status at a level while not actually having enough nights for said status may wish to check the website again. Sometime today my lifetime status (of any kind) has disappeared from the website. I still show as Lifetime Plat on the app.
