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?

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.

You cannot see lifetime points online anymore. And they don't matter any more. As of 2019, only lifetime nights and years are counted. Lifetime points would have last counted for Marriott legacy lifetime determinations through the end of 2018 being done in the current sweep (only for those who don't qualify based on nights and years, but might qualify solely on the Marriott side with night and points).

Log in, go to Overview, scroll down to where it says "You are Lifetime <whichever status>" and click Details. A popup will show your lifetime nights, and lifetime years as Silver, Gold, and Platinum.

I logged in and my status has been GF'ed into lifetime PPE. I did look at the stats and they appear to be correctly combined from both accounts. 1142 nights @17 years platinum. (I was a SPG LTP with close to 900 nights and then the rest Marriott) so showing. Marriott phone app shows LTPPE with same number of nights and years.
One oddity though, I tried to pull the stats up again on my laptop but now instead of seeing the You are lifetime PPE banner, I see is this your phone number +1-xxx-xxx-xxxx, Yes or no update. Click Yes and a phone country code is missing error pops up even though the +1 is correct and also shows correctly in my profile. Wonderful Marriott IT strikes again...

"Sweep" may be too strong a word...the picture below is not two screenshots merged together...it is a single screenshot of a page with the Overview popup on the right.
Another Marriott IT data point ;(

Anyone else noticed there's no lifetime titanium? So the equivalent of PPE is titanium...but there is no lifetime titanium tier in bonvoy. So it sure looks like all the fit throwing about the lifetime being ppe vs just slowly pe may have been for no reason. Just an observation. Without a lifetime titanium how will anyone be able to make the distinction?

From what I have heard from agents who are getting the training on this right now there is no lifetime titanium tier. And ppe is the equivalent of titanium. Granted the only difference is 2.5 pts per $ spent and the guaranteed 48 hr availability...but there is a difference. Unless they apply those benes to the LTP tier.

That's not to say they can't go back on their current plans and add the 4th tier. But as of this moment there is no lifetime titanium. But we still have LTP so it's not a huge issue. Titanium is a crap metal when it comes to precious metals anyways. Should have been palladium not Ti. Lol

Everyone
Please.
So for some who are saying/speculating/guessing that there won't be a "Lifetime Titanium Elite", how does one reconcile the above statement from Starriott/Marriott?
Also, the differences between status level X vs status level Y might be "minor" at this very juncture, but can change from year to year. So even if the differences may seem "minor" now, I'm not going to settle for a lifetime lower tier just because of this rationale. (I have nothing to worry about because I well over-qualified for the grandfathering).
And you're not going to see the Titanium branding officially until Bonvoy officially launches. So for now we'll simply see more LTPPE references instead of LTTE.
Please.
