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.

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).

I know Marriott CS is both not the best and crazy busy, but is it time to send emails if our lifetime counters haven;t been updated? For goodness sake, it's almost April...I can't imagine the year end account review is still going on.

I had written about this earlier and figured I should post an update. About 3 weeks ago, I sent an email to Marriott asking about changing my status to Lifetime Platinum as I had got to 10 years of Platinum at the end of 2019 and to 600 total nights shortly thereafter. I got a rapid response back with a case number and them saying that they would look into it. And when I checked yesterday, it was fixed and my profile shows exactly that. Good job, Marriott IT!

Glad it worked out well for you. Congrats!
I think it just naturally changed with the end of March updates

I was always an Ambassador member and never noted the Lifetime Status. Shouldn't I be Lifetime Titanium? Given that last year I turned 10 years and this year I turned 11. Keep in mind I only did around 80-90 nights last year.

In order to have made Lifetime Titanium or Lifetime Platinum Premier by combining MR and SPG statuses, you needed over 750 combined MR & SPG nights and 10+ combined years at Platinum by 12/31/2018.
Since from your post I assume that you were originally SPG, you'd need to know what your combined (nights/points/elite years) totals were on December 31, 2018 to assess whether you qualified for Lifetime Titanium.

Pre-merger Marriott Rewards, you needed over 750 nights and over 2,000,000 (2MM) points earned on the Marriott side by August 21, 2018 to have earned Lifetime Platinum. Some us were already Platinum Premiers, an undocumented status level, based on not only nights, points earned but also spend and activity. Then Marriott grandfathered those who reached over 750 nights and 10 years at Platinum by December 31, 2018 to Lifetime Platinum Premier - which became Lifetime Titanium.

I would like 10 years at Titanium, and 1000 nights, as a goal worth seeking.

If they introduce it without any end date the # nights might be higher than 750 maybe 1K if it going to be just a "relaunch" of MB then it will probably be the same as previously ... remember MAR was in much better financial shape when they launched MB now not so much ... at the end of the day it will be a business decision if a different structure of the LT program could help MAR recover on the margin....

Sounds completely reasonable. One reason that LTT may not be offered for some time, if at all, is that MR probably ended up with many more LT members than they initially planned on. Although MR should have offered SPG members with 750 nights and 10 years of status the same LT status as MR members with 2 MM points and 750 nights, adding the option to combine nights and years of status undoubtedly added a lot of LTPP members. Based on prior comments here, it seems that many people found the 2 MM point requirement on the MR side and the 750 night one on the SPG side to be the most difficult hurdles. Although I understand that there was a reason to count MR nights and status years and SPG activity equally, it was certainly easier to qualify using combined activity. Although more LT members competing for upgrades isn't something that helps this LTT member, I think your suggestion is something that MR should seriously consider.
