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.

Are lifetime plats (soon to be LTPPs) going to get screwed in the new system by not getting the SNAs? I'm worried that I will never get upgraded again since comp upgrades will go those with SNAs.

Not at all. You can earn SNAs, just need to put in the stays. If history at SPG holds over, several SNAs had been denied only to get Plat upgrades at check in. They don't seem to have kept many from missing out.

possibly less likely chance at resorts but those were always tougher anyway

I’m in about he same position as you. My current strategy is to move all my spend to the Marriott CC and I’ll do some meetings towards the end of the year and/or transfer Chase UR points to Marriott if I need them.
Getagb - Are Chase UR point transfers still counting toward lifetime? My recent transfers have not increased my lifetime, but I have not yet called a CSR to see if there is an issue with the system.

I have not transferred any recently but they should. If they don’t post on Monday, maybe give Marriott a call and let us know what you hear?

Just had email exchange with Marriott Customer service: "Currently there is an issue with the online system updating the lifetime balance. We are working on getting this corrected. I apologize for the confusion."

They gave me a manual count of my LT points, which is over 170,000 point higher than my online LT counter! I can't verify whether Chase UR counted as part of my test, since the online LT counter is all messed up. However, if you believe your LT total is off, it is worth confirming with MR the actual count! I was pleasantly surprised... Hopefully they fix this soon - perhaps it is an isolated incident with me, but I'm thinking it's more systemic of an issue.

The reason why I am asking is beacuse I have two objectives, not sure if I can do both:

1. Via Status Challenge Obtain Platinum Status which becomes Platinum Premier on August 1st (thats what I am led to believe)
2. Get Lifetime Platinum by increasing my stays and nights to the required levels, I am led to believe I have till the end of the year to achieve this based on comment above.

Can I try do both options and are there any tips to consider?
New status levels starting from August 1st but you can qualify LT levels with each program by current rules until December 31st.
1.Status obtained by challenge would be valid until the day they were given. MR Gold=MR Platinum Elite and MR Platinum=Platinum Premier Elite from August 1st.
2. Yes,correct.
There is no need to do both if you can do MR LT Platinum(750 nights/2M points) by December 31st. Focus on that if you find that if the cost to achieve is low or reasonable for you. Since you have currently 1.1M points and transfers from SPG does not count lifetime, you need 900k points more until December 31st. Even LTG with MR requires 500 nights(doable) and 1,6M points which are 500k points away. With that(MR LTG) you will get LTPE in the new program. Would it be easier for you qualify under the rules of the new program in the future? LTPE 600 nights and 10 years of Platinum combined.

Has it been confirmed by Marriott that PP will have higher upgrade priority than P? I thought they will all be in one pool together with Ambassadors.

I believe it's one of the ~40 questions and counting in the wiki in the SPG thread...

The way I think it'll work is once you combine your SPG and Marriott accounts, you can no longer achieve Marriott legacy lifetime.

So, with that piece of info it stands to reason that your SPG nights wouldn't count towards your Marriott nights. I don't know this for fact, but reading how everything is going to be calculated, I think you need to get those legacy lifetime statuses before you decide to combine. I feel like they'll make that very clear once August 1 gets closer.

That's what I'm seeing. I had four stays last week that all posted, but the lifetime point counter did not move.

Mine hasn't moved since late last year (and they've known that it's a problem since then).

Pretty sure it won't be fixed anytime soon either.

Lifetime nights significantly wrong

Called the CSR this morning and confirmed LT points and was quite surprised that I have 75k more LT points than showing on the site. The agent also said I had to end of year to earn the needed points to clear lifetime - not news, but was mentioned on my call.

That would be understandable, but let me ask, have you seen that information from Marriott or are you surmising that because it makes sense? In other words, is that an official statement from Marriott?
