Does anyone know when the sweep for LTPP will be happening?

So, is Marriott double counting matched years from one program to the other? I have 11 Plat years with SPG (which is correct). My Marriott account is showing 5 yrs as Platinum Elite or higher (accts not combined yet). AFAIK, I’ve never even achieved the old Gold Marriott status so where did that number come from? Will I have 16 yrs when I combine?

I’ll bet when I combine my accounts, I’ll have 16 yrs of Plat status even though I never earned status with Marriott. I just realized however that I did have comp Gold status with Marriott thanks to my UA 1K status. That must be why I have 5 yrs of Plat status with Marriott.

I'd say it's likely, yes - and would be very interested to hear of your outcome when you finally do combine (someday?). My own personal view is that there were some errors in favor of members in terms of linked accounts - at the very least - and this may in part explain why there haven't been a lot of reports of years count bumping in 2019 for 2018; there's already been an over-counting to some degree for a lot of accounts (anecdotally). Of course status years counting is Marriott-proprietary, so we'll never see a full accounting of how it all shook out. And also because the T&Cs in terms of clawing back erroneous LT status is stacked in Marriott's favor, there may yet be disappointments (although that would be a pretty dicey PR move given the current state of affairs).

Updated to LTPPE on web, but not APP. Logged out and back in, solved the issue and now APP also reflects LTPPE

My profile has been upgraded to Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite
Lifetime nights: 1033
LT years as Gold or Platinum: 21
LT years as Platinum: 14
And to think I wasn't certain if I had 10 years Platinum so made sure to get 25 stays in at SPG before merger to get another year.
