Current Status of the Grandfathering Sweep to Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite / Lifetime Titanium Elite
As of 1/26 Members are reporting a SWEEP HAS OCCURRED LTPPE/LTitaniumE. Some have reported discrepancies between app and website still.
A sweep has also occurred of LTP qualifying from previous LTG on legacy rules.
Request: Please DO NOT post asking if the above has occurred or advising all of us that nothing has changed. Please continue reading this wiki for updates.
If you have legitimately been swept and your website account shows that you have truly been grandfathered to Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite, then yes please do add a post with this information with useful details for others and this wiki will then be updated accordingly with your information.

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

Now I am totally confused - I thought that SPG nights and MR nights were totally separate for legacy qualification . Maybe I am misreading your post . If all nights count , wouldn’t someone with 500 combined nights and 10 years combined Platinum qualify under legacy SPG for LTP ? I don’t think that is the case .

So since the speculation has been all over the field,
I took my own advice. I emailed the same executive that I did over the weekend about my missing SNA. He again replied within an hour and let me know that there would be a news announcement at the end of THIS WEEK about the LTPP sweeps.

The range of speculation - and to my knowledge it's nothing more than just that - ranges from 1 January to sometime well after January.
I had contemplated starting a separate thread on a related topic, but I think this thread will do just fine. Namely, I was going to suggest that tonight might be an excellent time for screen shots of account particulars. With the current state of Marriott IT, it's probably all the more advisable this year than those past...

Still waiting for my LTPP status to update based on legacy requirements.
Alao noticed that my choice benefit option. at 75 nights has dissapeared this morning.
You would think that they finally came up with a nailed on process after all the previous issues!

I have noticed that the mobile app platform counts are not aligned with the website platform. I've seen delays of 3-4 hours for what it is worth... It makes no sense but it seems to be what is happening.

.....and that announcement will just say that everything is fine and stable.

I believe this is an Marriott IT bug *shocker*. I'm seeing this also and don't think I made LTPP. Note that it reads "Platinum Premier Lifetime Status" instead of "Lifetime Platinum Premier Status". There is speculation in the Choice Benefit thread that it is showing this for all PP that also hold LT status.

I surmise that it is a fairly significant task that may require several sweeps -they need to take care of adjusting the LTPP , adjusting for those that qualified for other levels under legacy rules , sweep for Ambassador qualifying guests (some 2018 spend may not have hit accounts yet) and then deal with (if there are any granted) exceptions .

I still don't have my final Platinum year towards lifetime status accrued with Marriott in 2018. I combined accounts, but all 79 nights I had on my Marriott account were with their legacy properties.
Any idea on when those will be credited?

It will be announced when it gets announced. I think everyone assumes it likely will happen sometime in January.
Otherwise, we all simply have to try to not behave like impatient children on a long car ride constantly asking our parents, “Are we there yet?”
