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.

Years ago, when my wife and I joined Mileage Plus, they offered numerous enticing title choices. In a moment of weakness while completing her application form, I designated her as a Countess. For years, every correspondence she received from United was addressed to Countess Goodman. She was not amused and finally got them to stop.
I'll admit I'm slightly less attracted to her now that she's just a Mrs.

One clerk told me she had never met an actual lord before. I told her I hadn't either (that wasn't true strictly speaking, but it sounded good).

It is on a year by year basis, but I would guess that as long as Marriott and United have the current agreement in place, Lifetime Titanum status would continue to give United Silver status.

Got my Lifetime Titanium card in the mail last week. My first thought was "what is it made out of?" I see from this thread I'm not the only one that tested to see if it was magnetic and weighed it. Did we ever find out their composition?

It's an alloy of all the hopes and dreams collectively held for Bonvoy. Hence the thud factor.

So it turns out there's a practical value to sending out LTTE packages after all - for Marriott. Saw today where someone posted in the comments section of an old blog post that they were so excited to receive this "announcement" that they'd be shifting from a best-value stay pattern back to Marriott loyalty. I guess on FT it's easy to forget that there are those out there who have no idea their status unless they're told/reminded.
It's also interesting to me that these are apparently still slowly spooling out - perhaps there're a lot more LTTEs in the world than I ever would've guessed for this to span so much time (have not received one to date myself).

Maybe they should subcontract?
Have not got my LTT card in the mail, but got a nice luggage tag from united. I saw on a post that one of the lurkers said between now and the end of the year, seriously how hard can this possibly be?

Unlike many others who don't like the weight of it because it makes it tougher to carry in the wallet.... I keep mine in my traveling briefcase in a special pocket that contains my membership cards, so I don't have to pain myself carrying it on my body at all times.
These steel cards are nice, and I wish other loyalty programs would do that for their lifetime status travelers (UA/DL for instance, and Hilton and others).
Maybe for those that stay 3000+ nights, they can upgrade this lifetime card to be diamond crusted.

The lifetime card is very cool, and I actually like the steel card. I don't mind it a bit if I don't get sent another yearly card again.

My lifetime Diamond Hilton card is metal. I have gotten two of them, different version but both metal. Still waiting on receiving my Titanium LT from Marriott

Marriott IT Lifetime Status Problems
I was checking on my lifetime status with my ambassador as it wasn't tallying up...my Ambassador came back with the below -
Currently you have 804 lifetime nights and 8 years of platinum elite status. I checked with our related department and I was advised that 8 years is not counting for this year and this should update at the beginning of next year. If you believe this information is not accurate, we can request our related department to review your account and stays. Please kindly let me know and I will be happy to assist you.
Marriott IT system still having issues 🥴
