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:
- 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'm trying to learn and understand how Marriott lifetime status works. Let's say I achieved 250 LT nights today and I already have had 5 silver for 5 years. So now i'm a LT silver elite. What if I want to obtain LT Platinum Elite? Will I have to start over and be a Platinum Elite for 10 years?

Y1 Silver
Y2 Gold
Y3 Platinum
Y4 Silver
Y5 Platinum
In this case your count would be:
5 years toward LT silver
3 years toward LT gold
2 years toward LT platinum

Was thinking this very same thing. Likely they wouldn’t want to send a LT Titanium kit to an Amb member and create confusion. And yeah, likely this is a one-time thing, so...
But I can’t think of any real-world use case for the card/package, so I’m not going to mourn much. Just wish I’d been ‘surprised or delighted’ with recent award stays or something!

Data point - I just received my LT Titanium kit & card in today’s mail... so they’re still mailing them out. I’m not sure what I’ll do with mine, but somehow I liked getting it. Though, to be honest, it was not quite as exciting as achieving and receiving my SPG Lifetime credentials. But I do appreciate the benefits that come with Lifetime elite status!

SPG had an awesome metal card with SPG Lifetime Platinum, served up in a card which had every SPG hotel location ever (ish) marked out on it. I'm sad I missed out on it by 1 year before all the great stuff went away.
