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).

Perhaps a silly question but hopefully someone here might know:
My MR profile currently shows 9 years Platinum. I have met the criteria to qualify for Platinum again next year. Could this perhaps count as my 10th year qualifying for Platinum, in which case I would be grandfathered into PP? Or does the 9 years already reflect my having re-achieved Platinum for next year?
I found this thread but couldn't discern a definitive answer: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...-needed-5.html

Just about anything can happen now that everything is in such turmoil and I doubt anyone will have a definitive answer for you. You may be able to determine this yourself though. Do you know the number of years you showed in say February? Is it the same as now? There have been quite a few discussions about when the year count will be incremented with both programs taking a different approach and no one seems to know which or if a new process will be used with MPG. Even calling MPG will most likely get you different answers. Hold on tight and see what happens. Good luck.

I totally agree my chance is almost non-existant. My only hope was that I could prove that they took so long in getting back to me that someone would sympathize with me. It would be a week before I got a response at times. The situation could have been handled much quicker (even my ambassador was shocked it was taking so long).
I wish I could just lay out all the email proof / screen shots / etc to someone high enough that could help and give me a sliver of a chance of getting LTPP.
Its not like I just sat around and waiting till the last minute to try and get a no-excuse extension.

I have not heard of anyone so far been able to dispute the same and get their number of nights increased.
Marriott could always come back and say that the previous (pre merger accounts) had wrong info and now it is corrected.
Ideally, you should have merged your accounts in September itself so that you would have had ample time to then re-qualify if needed. Either way, you were below the 750 threshold.

You might want to combine your accounts now if you feel that you qualify for LTPP. The next sweep may now happen anytime after 1st Jan 2019

... or not. There are multiple DPs (including mine) where the current year (or years) were not added after merging. For soeme people they are there and for another set of people choosing the 5 extra nights after 50 nights triggered the update. One thing is sure - the whole situation is a mess

Since Marriott didn't count Platinum years, it was difficult for some of us to determine how many years of status we had on the Marriott side. I tried calling before August and received answers that were clearly wrong. If someone qualified for Marriott Platinum or higher before the conversion, it may not be clear if 2018 is counted in the totals.

Lifetime status 1/1/19
So here we are 1/1/19. Dozens of posts and blog articles later filled with confusing and conflicting info and the result is as I suspected. 759 LT nights, 18y platinum. LT Platinum. NOT Platinum Premier.
I used to love this game, but the days of being loyal to ANY of these companies is long gone.

Not to mention that anyone who had stays in the last few days won’t have them reflected in their account yet! I’d say at the very least, wait a minimum of 10 business days. Or be realistic and allow 1-2 months.
Remember this is the company that started their widely advertised 29 Ways promo a week later than scheduled.
