Lifetime points are missing from the profile section of the website and show as 0 in the Marriott mobile app. However, you may be able to use the work-around referenced in this blog post to see your current Lifetime Points.
You can still view your lifetime points online with the following steps:
If you call Marriott they can also tell you your lifetime points balance.
http://www.marriott.com/marriott/rew...te-benefits.mi As of 20 May, this process does not work. There is no link called "Night Detail" on this page.
To check lifetime balances: (HT to txpenny)
1. Click "Night Detail".
2. Click "Learn More" (under the night total)
3. Click "Marriott Rewards Overview". At this point you're probably no longer logged in (because you've been thrown to an older version of the Marriott website), so log in again.
4. Click "Nights" under your current year's nights. -> The detail you're expecting showing LT nights and points will show up like before.
Lifetime Silver Elite:
250 qualified nights
1.2 million points
Lifetime Gold Elite
500 qualified nights
1.6 million points
Lifetime Platinum Elite
750 qualified nights
2.0 million points
To check your point and night balance, log into your account and click My Account > Account Overview > Nights.
"Elite Lifetime Status is determined by your total qualified nights stayed and points earned throughout the course of your membership – including your paid nights, Elite rollover nights, meeting nights and the nights and points earned on your Marriott Rewards Credit Card."
Points used by members to buyback their previously attained Elite level will be permanently deducted from their Lifetime point balance.
If an elite's point level drops below that required for the level attained, they will drop down to the next Lifetime level until points are accumulated to get them back to the next level.
Lifetime points in addition to nights now display on your Marriott Rewards account. When logged in, click on "Nights" (the blue link below the number representing your current year nights). You'll see the detail of what comprises your current year nights as well as your Lifetime Status nights.

You can read the threads about PP status, but in summary there is not a set criteria you can match. They claim PPs make up the top 3% of their members, how they compute that percentage is unknown (stays, points, $s, number of execs they know, how well they tip the property staff).

I stayed 181 paid nights this year at an average cost of $160 base per night. Not sure if that's enough to qualify for it, especially since last year's 145 paid nights didn't get it for me.

Not sure where these threads exist... do you have links so I can add to my subscriptions?

Don't bother trying to figure it out. I have heard all kinds of different spend and stay levels making it. I have had only 70 paid nights, but my average nightly room rate is more than double yours; I also spent about $130,000 on Marriott and Ritz credit cards this year and do a lot of room charges for food. I had 3 small events also. I won't make the status

But it's theoretically possible to get to an LT level, then disappear from Marriott (including closing the email address you left on file with Marriott) so that Marriott cannot contact you, cannot find any trace of you, and eventually closes your Marriott account.
Now, why anyone would want to get to a Marriott LT level and then switch to totally disappearing from Marriott, and yet care about that Marriott LT level, I don't know, but at least theoretically it seems possible.
(And I think of this because I did see a post from someone in the AA forum who was furious at the fact that his US lifetime status didn't transfer to AA, simply because he had no miles activity at all in the US account for years and years before the merger after attaining US lifetime status, and his US account finally got deleted for inactivity right around the time of the merger [but not related to the merger].)

I'd say that hosting an event with catering probably trumps all else for getting a *large* suite, but being a repeat guest trumps almost everything else when it comes to the day-to-day upgrades and random little perks/extras.
Especially if you're nice to both the FD clerks and the bartenders. @:-)

On a US carrier with a bazillion easy earning/redeeming options, no less...

This. At the end of the day, repeat guests trump status.

My previous boss was a Top Fifty at the Ren near our head office, back when that was being pushed as an important thing. She would get better rooms than me, despite her being Gold and me being Plat Prem.

I'm very interested to find out if this is actually true. It sounds like Michilander is the test case for it and we'll know in a few days, if he does indeed go through with the transfer.
If Marriott is guarding against an exploitable loophole, then he'll drop to LT Gold or "regular" Plat, depending on 2015 activity. However, it's a really niche case and some code to write and test, so who knows if they bothered with it...

I read that Marriott points transferred between accounts show up in both person's lifetime point balances. So if a friend transfers 50,000 points to my account, for example, $10 is charged and the 50,000 points will increase my lifetime balance by 50,000. Correct?

That's cool if it's true. A nice way to increase the lifetime points total. That's my current problem. Good on nights but need points.

According to a number of posts on this thread, no. They get deducted from the lifetime balance of the person who transfers them out.
