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.

Quick question - I'm 8k points short of my lifetime plat and I would like to get it before my trip to New York in January. If I purchase the 8k points will they count towards my lifetime accumulation?
I checked the t & c's for purchasing points and it did not mention that they would be excluded. Thanks in advance

Right now, all of my paid stays are with Hyatt and SPG so I earn my MR points through the credit card. The MR Visa isn't as good as other credit cards but it's currently my primary card because I want to eventually reach LT Plat.

But with that, to get 8K points would cost you about $100. If you are that close to LT Plat, I assume you are already LT Gold. As such you should get the Gold bonus of 30% on base points (if I remember correctly.) So is there a Marriott anywhere close by where you live or can you extend a trip by a night before the end of the year? If you can find something with a $70/night rate,, you might be able to save some money by reserving a room for a night rather than paying the $100.

No your right, my math was way off. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I need to go back to school on how to multiply I think. (I probably was using 700 rather than 70 though when doing the math in my head.)

I didn't save it, but I'm pretty sure there was a "welcome to lifetime status, congratulations on your achievement, blah, blah," letter. I wasn't just a card in an envelope. But no special certificates, awards, etc.
MR certainly doesn't do it as well as SPG, which indicates your LT status via various graphic notation, in many places on-line and on your annual card. And the metal LT PLT card looks sweet (7 more nights...)

No special mention of lifetime, etc. Just that the card now actually says lifetime.
Also got one of those mailings (Rewards Plus or something) that list hotels to consider as well as an account update (which are always way behind). Below the point and night total it actually says "Platinum Elite Lifetime". So at least they are officially starting to recognize it.
I crossed the night/point total for LTP ~ 3 months before the mailing.....

Just got home in the US for the first time in many months. In the pile of mail to go through was a new "2013 Platinum" package. Inside was a card that says Platinum Elite Lifetime on it and no expiration date. Otherwise it looks identical to the existing card.

Got my Platinum Lifetime Card in the mail today. Wondered why I had not ever received a Lifetime Silver or Gold card, but reading through these threads, now it makes sense…kind of. They never mailed them since I have been Platinum since 1999, with a few years of Gold in there.

I am (and have been for a few years) Platinum Premier. As I understand it, Platinum Premier is a higher status than Lifetime Platinum. I recently achieved all the requirements for Lifetime, but guess they keep you as Platinum Premier as long as you are at that level. Would think i would be better off being listed as Platinum Premier re: upgrades. Anyone familiar with this particular situation?

Unfortunately, MR has reduced the tangible benefits for Platinum Premier over the years. It might open some doors when making a special request, but other than that I'm hard pressed to see any advantage over Platinum.

Actually, Platinum and Platinum Premier are a higher status than Lifetime Platinum. Both indicate you are continuing to provide income to MI and not banking on previous activity to maintain status.

I am PP, and get zippo from my "extra" status.
If I would get:
1-free breakfast on all stays
2-double arrival points
I would be happy...and bring MR many more nights! Guess MR doesn't really need my $$$$ bad enough.

And would bring my ~75 nights a year I give to SPG/Hyatt back to MR.
