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).

Doesn't that go up when you meet the status requirement? I got platinum for the first time in August, migrated from the 50 night gold status, and my counter says 1 year of platinum during my lifetime which is correct.

I anticipate some big mess on Feb 13 if they haven’t sorted things out by now. (Considering reports of weird abnormalities over the past couple of days - some people got downgraded for no reason or upgraded without enough qualifying nights, etc.) I am really wondering what they are doing with no effective communication.

Ok, here's a weird one:
Lifetime Gold Elite requires 400 Lifetime Nights + 7 Years Gold Elite Status or Higher
I was LT Silver after the August merger, with over 7 years Gold and 316 nights at the end of 2018. Yesterday I look at the app and... I'm LT Gold. Checked on the web site today and also LT Gold. Despite not having the 400 nights. I wonder if that status will be rescinded at some point (if / when Marriott IT figures out they made a mistake) until I actually meet the 400 night requirement? Not worried, just amused.

My wife and I had this happen (I'm at 273 nights, and she's at 298, with 7 & 8 years respectively), and I found a post that mentioned that Marriott was going to grant Lifetime Gold to all members hitting the SPG target of 250 and 5. Based on that, this looks to be accurate. Now the totals may be off, but that is a subject for another day!

Yes, I'm 28 nights short of Lifetime Platinum Elite qualifying but have 14 years as a Platinum; I read that Lifetime PE qualifications were being phased out on 31/12 so I'm hoping that I've been granted that status on the basis of "near enough is good enough" but frankly who knows? I guess I might found out when we're all Bonvoy-agers

Spoke with a guest experience supervisor from Marriott Senior Elite Services yesterday. She said the sweep was done on Monday, but some accounts will not see an increment in year counter until next Fri, Feb 8th. My app is currently showing 780 nights and 9 years, and the supervisor said I should see 10 years after next week, which qualifies me for LTPP.

It’s likely because you qualified for legacy gold prior to the merge of the two IT systems. I have yet to see evidence anyone who qualified for P after the merge has seen their LT year count incremented by now.

I'm Lifetime Gold - but I haven't actually qualified yet?
I noticed a few days ago that my lifetime status is now gold (was previously silver). But I've only got 370 nights and 6 years as Gold or better under my belt, versus the 400 nights and 7 years required. I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth - and I'll qualify before the year is out regardless - but I'm puzzled by how this happened?
My real goal is to make it to lifetime Platinum, which I expect to achieve in four years. Or sooner if the glitches continue 😉
