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.

Unfortunately, many CSRs will make up rules to get you off the phone. Although this would be very nice, I doubt it will happen as well.

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.

To argue for SPG LTP between 500 and 750 nights to have some pathway to (even eventual) LTPP, I as but one example altered my stay patterns after the merger was announced to experience more of the Marriott portfolio, and ended up staying nearly 100 nights on the Marriott side in the past year or two. I'm currently just over 600 nights on the SPG side, but if the Marriott nights are added in at 8/1/18 from the past couple of years, I will likely have over 750 nights. I recognize that there are many people in their own unique situations, but I would have 100% kept all of my nights on the Starwood side for the last two years if I knew that 750 within SPG only was the threshold for this new status. It's not for the name or prestige of LTPP, there are real implications in terms of suite upgrades (very important when traveling with family), and seemingly the United partnership which may only be at the 75-night level.
Absolutely still holding out hope that the thoughtful Marriott leaders reading these threads will yet announce some modifications or clarifications that improve the outlook for those on the SPG LTP side.

While I see your point about the asterisk, that chart is specific to benefits achieved at each level during a calendar year based on nights stayed (Silver through Ambassador). If you achieve that level through lifetime status each year I think there still needs to be clarification from Marriott on this topic. If the suite nights aren't awarded to LT PP then the only real benefit difference between LT Plat and LT PP would be a 25% point bonus and 48 hour guarantee which aren't very significant for someone who has achieved that status and is no longer traveling enough to achieve the night thresholds. For someone who has effectively achieved LT Plat 3 times over based on current threshold requirements I believe rewarding LT members with ALL benefits of their associated level is appropriate. I'm sure we'll get clarity eventually but my hope is Marriott does right by their most loyal customers who have achieved these levels.

If the Suite Night Awards in the combined program function like they did under SPG (highly highly likely), then they will not be given to lifetime members unless they actually hit the 50/75 nights threshold in a given year.

I'm surprised at the upheaval reading through these posts to make LTPP over LTP. Like you pointed out there's just a couple of small benefits (2.5 extra pts per dollar and 48 hr guarantee) that separates the two. I guess you could argue the higher status would 'win out' when trying to get a complimentary upgrade, but overall there is such a small difference between the two statuses esp if you don't get the extra 5 suite night awards a year.
Just look at all the posts about today's PP status. It's a moving target yet many strive, and are proud, when they earn it. But what do they get? Almost nothing.

For me, Plt Premier 75 offer very minimal benefit
other than higher point earn, the other benefits is not really useful for me.
48 hours room guarantee and extra 5sna
hotel “might” treat plt premier better, but then its something that quite dubious as some hotel even think current plt is a liabilities due to late checkout.

So she could have 270,000 redeemable MR points in her account, but 0 LT points.

Yes, but you don't "transfer" LT points, you transfer points that would cause a negative LT for her and a positive for him.

The way they came up with so many levels is laughable. They are just trying to keep SPG customers in the comfort zone. When implementing these different levels, I bet there will be so much confusion across the properties and PP will not likely be treated better than P.
If LT P or LT PP members don't get those suite upgrades automatically, then LT P is the sweet spot with lounge access. That's it.

Do any other lifetime Marriott Golds feel Marriott has moved the goal posts?
Marriott and Starwood announced the acquisition on November 16th, 2015, which is about 2 and half years before they announced the combined program on Monday.
Have any Marriot Lifetime Golds shifted their stay pattern to SPG in anticipation that the combined program would count towards lifetime status? Do they now feel shafted that these stays do not count toward Lifetime Premier Platinum? If they had known this, would they have continued with Marriott instead of SPG? Everything they did, especially the status matching, indicated they would recognize stays and points across both programs.
I am in this situation and I really feel like Marriott has moved the goal posts and been completely unfair. If my SPG nights/points from the date of the merger announcement counted, I would easily be a lifetime premier platinum and now I am stuck having to cancel all my upcoming SPG stays, move to Marriott, book meeting rooms, etc.

Why I think LTPP might actually be worth it:
- United partnership. I'm in the camp that believes new Plat 50's won't get it.
- Insulation against future benefit devaluations, such as limiting "regular" Plats' lounge access or breakfast options.
- Now that the level is formalized, more hotels may actually prioritize it for upgrades. It didn't mean anything before, but it very well could in the future.
- Possibly the 48-hour guarantee, although the heritage-Marriott brands seemed to always "game" this benefit. Not sure about Starwood... I did invoke it as a Plat in Seattle and San Francisco for good hotels at fair rates (high-ish, but not absurd). Also got rejected by all sorts of small-town Courtyards and Fairfields that weren't within 500 miles of any major global event that would warrant an exemption from the rules.
