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).

Screenshot from the app. I actually laugh a bit at the verbiage...”Your points won’t expire as long as you stay or use the points by the expiration date.”

FWIW I have lifetime status as well.

Your points expire AND you maintain your status. Couldn't both be true? (I have not checked the rules lately)

It is explicitly spelled out in Ts and Cs LT members’ points never expire. The inconsistency shows another incompetency of Marriott IT.

Rewards Credit Card bonus nights counting for Plat Lifetime status?

Just got 15 Reward Credit card bonus nights into my account. I'll reach Lifetime Plat status this current year, with or without the 15 free nights. However, was just curious to find out if those nights would count towards the LT status, or just for the current year? (I'm already Plat, so won't change a thing for me).

Historically, yes. You can check your lifetime nights to see if it increased.

I would hope they would elect to spend money on fixing the IT issues and delivering on their promises. I would hope they would not spend money on sending cards to members.

While I agree that the company should focus on fixing IT, I don’t believe it’s a matter of money. It’s a failure of leadership from the very top.

Translated: You can’t fix stupid (with money, necessarily).

I am now Lifetime Platinum... What are the incentives to keep staying at Marriotts?

What program should I start building with now while I am still traveling for work?

The incentive is the same incentive as you had to stay any year after you locked in status for the next year. I have always continued to stay because I get lounge access and upgrades, etc. No point in attaining status and then going elsewhere where you won't get those benefits until you hit status.

Similar to airlines. I have status with *A and OW and thus I ignore SkyTeam as much as possible. Otherwise I'm at the back of the check-in line and end of the boarding procedure with no place to put my overhead.
