(When) Will addt'l year for lifetime status post?
My Bonvoy account currently shows 9 years as Platinum and I earned Platinum for this year.
With status extended by a year to early 2022 due to COVID-19, will an additional year as Platinum post at one point (next year)?
Or is that already included in that count the system currently shows?

Should be early 2021.
I have no trust in Marriott however. Despite guidance provided on FT awhile back, they could easily come around and say that we didn't "earn" Platinum status and not count the year. I'm going to do 50 nights (25 were comped anyhow) to be safe...

I think it’s likely that they’ll add it to the LT stats but I agree with the post above saying that we won’t really know for sure till it happens in 2021.
Remember the assurance by the Lurker that soft landings would be given? Turns out a lot of people got double downgrades.
I’ll be looking to hit 75 nights this year to lock in legit Titanium in any case.

Usually it happens in the start of the new year, around February. There can be some delays though (a bunch of folks, including me didn't their 2019 status added to their lifetime years until mid-spring 2020, around April or May I think).

My experience (and has been confirmed by one other poster in another thread) is that they don't increment # of elite years once you've hit LTT. Can't tell you why, but I haven't yet heard of a LTT that had elite years increased.

Where on the website can we check our number of years toward lifetime status? I keep stumbling upon it and then find I can't retrace my steps. Thanks in advance.

Interesting. I'll have to watch for that in early 2021. AFAIK lifetime nights do keep increasing for LTT and since I had a lot of elite years from both SPG and MR as LTP from both sides, it would be fun to see even larger numbers.

Yes, lifetime nights do continue to increment, years have not (for me and a few other posters).

Anyone see their counter move yet? Last year it was mid February but wife's account still shows 9 years and just want it to show 10 so can get Lifetime Plat. She hit 75 last year and chose both 50 and 75 night awards so it should definitely move up this year.
