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).

Sorry if this was discussed anywhere upthread.
i’m titanium elite till feb 2021, also lifetime gold with 650 night and 9 years as platinum (or above).
do i need to qualify for platinum (or above) this year to achieve lifetime platinum?
if i do zero night this year, next year i will be soft landed to platinum. Does it count toward lifetime years as platinum?
thank you.

Being in a similar situation, and thinking that I’d rest on my Titanium laurels, I called a CSR a few months ago and was assured that a soft landing would move the lifetime counter. I’m not sure that I have the courage of my convictions and I’m right now being agnostic about hotel choices: what can I say, with Bonvoy’s IT it’s buyer beware!

I too am waiting for my Platinum years to update from 9 to 10. I stayed exactly 50 nights last year to get to that 10th year of Platinum in 2019. Also I am currently at 597 total nights and will get to 600 in a few weeks. So am THIS close to Lifetime Platinum. Fingers crossed that they get to this soon!

If last year was your 10th and the ticker hasn't moved yet, then your good to go.

What 3WR is asking is will his/her soft landing from Titanium to Platinum move the ticker from 9 to 10. I was assured by a CSR that this was the case, but let’s let a Lurker weigh in, shall we?

I believe qualification is needed. Soft landing is not considered as qualification.

This is so frustrating. Last Jan website/app showed wife move from 7-8 for years and she got Titanium Elite last year so was expecting this to move to 9 years by now but still hasn't moved (still shows 8). Sounds like others are in the same boat which is very frustrating. Was hoping this would be final year to get lifetime but now not sure.

Throw a senior citizen a bone, would you cite, cut and paste the details, particularly as I and others have been told by Bonvoy CSRs that a soft landing moves the counter.
Other than the blanket 4.2.e.ii, “The Company will determine, in its sole discretion, whether or not a Member has met the requirements to achieve Lifetime Elite Status.” I don’t see that a soft landing Plat would be excluded. 4.2.e.i speaks to obtaining “Minimum Requirements” for Elite. Thoughts?
