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:
  1. Go to www.marriott.com and login
  2. Go to https://www.marriott.com/rewards/rewards-program.mi
  3. Click "Nights"
See screenshot of what to click.

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.

Of course, and nobody knows; in fact, it probably has not yet even been decided.

Yes, and at that point they counted toward LT status. I think we have different perspectives on the semantics. I was responding to someone who asked if points received from this place or that counted.

I'm not sure that I fully understand your point. But if you were to transfer 50K points into a friend's account, your account LT balance would decrease by 50K points. Your friend's LT account balance would increase by 50K points.

Hi there!

As it turns out, I am one night away from Lifetime Gold, but 1 million points away, too. Any advice for making up the deficit? I already have the Marriott rewards card w/Chase.

I was merely answering this question:

And can cause you to have your LT status demoted if you drop below the threshold, as I found with my experiment:

Are you booking $100 meetings to get nights? Thats an average roo.m rate of $75 without factoring in welcome gifts, status bonus, promotions, etc...

No way to get points without spending more on CC, buying points, or staying more

A $100 meeting for 10 nights is an "average rate" of $10.

Thanks for the reply. No, I'm not booking meetings, and honesty I don't know how such a nights/points disparity occurred. Any tips for accruing points via the cc or is that in a different thread?

Start begging every adult family member that you know to sign up for a Chase MR Visa card and have them transfer the points to you over the next 2 years? 11 family members and with the minimum spend for each, and you would net over 900k of the million required!

Spending money, basically. You can churn the card for bonuses.

Does purchasing a vacation package (trip + flight) count as a transfer out too?
