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.

Do I have until 12/31 to obtain pts required for LT Plat?
I have 571 nights and 1.4mil points with Marriott. I am 200K points away from being LT Gold under the current system and LT Platinum under the new system. I will have the required points in my account before the end of the year to reach LT Gold, but probably not before August without a miracle.
Question to you guys, do I have to reach the 1.6mil points level before August to be LT Gold under the current system and then LT Platinum under the new system? Or do I have until the end of the year to obtain the points needed reach 1.6mil and then become LT Platinum under the new system?
I read back several pages. Sorry if this has been answered already.

And tangentially, if I move MR points to SPG is that a debit to my account since moving SPG to Marriott is not an increase in lifetime points.??..

I was just planning a trip to Tokyo and realized my choice of hotel completely changed due the new qualifications for lifetime status.
Under the old system, I didn't mind spending more for a Marriott property because I still needed the points for my lifetime status. Additionally, each additional night helps even though points was the bigger constraint for me. Now, I basically just need 10 years of platinum status and I'm already fine for the first year. So I've decided to redirect 6 nights to someplace cheaper.

I'm still hopeful that Marriott will open LTPP in the future once the dust settles. I'm too far away in both nights and points to try and close it by August/December of this year.

Yes, it would. But there are limits to how many points can be transferred, so unlikely you can pull that off, especially before the deadline. Good luck.

I'm just trying to understand the Marriott system coming from SPG side. No attempt being made to execute the scenario.

Interesting corner case, but I don't see why that wouldn't work. Although I can see MR turning it down if they feel it is gaming the system.

I do not believe transferring points out of MR will reduce your LT points since you don't add LT points transferring them in. However, using a third parties MR account may bump your points. However, I suspect if MR catches on, then they may choose to shut down your account for fraud. Just because they may not have a rule against it doesn't mean they can't take exception to the action.

The points should be added to her LT total when transferred in, the subtracted back out when she transfers them to you.

What MR giveth with one hand MR taketh with the other, of course. I believe the "taketh" here is going to be a devaluation through the new awards chart. The top new categories are more expensive than the current Cat-9. We'll see how many hotels in places like NY, Boston, SF, and various US beach towns (where there are a lot of Cat-8/9 properties today, including some limited service brands) go to 50k+ points all or most of the time.

I'm rather sad that they've gone down this route, though they clearly have the right to do so. It does represent a significant devaluing of LTP(P) that many have built up over many years. Assuming there are only limited suite upgrades available, creating certificates that have priority over PP upgrades has to make the potential for a non-cert upgrade lower. There will be a lot of certificates out there.

I was told by an agent last night that LTPP will be getting suite upgrades without the requirement of doing the actual 75 nights. I take this with a grain of salt because she too had lots of questions.
