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.

Yes, there is a difference in the Marriott computer system. It's called first person to achieve this number, your record indicator is 'N'.

Not really - I feel much better having spread my >1500 nights to earn multiple LTP's.
Other opinions? Why would doubling up in one program, with presumably no added benefits, be better than earning LT in two programs?

Status buy back and lifetime points
Buy back and lifetime points
I just called Marriott's customer service and learned that if you:
1. Do a status buyback status, points would be deducted from your regular account as well as lifetime account, i.e. to do a platinum buy back means 40000 points deducted from the regular account and another 40000 points deducted from the lifetime account.
2. The same rule (as stated in 1) applies to when you give your points to someone else.
Wish I knew this before I did a buyback in the past few years.

BTW - do we have second confirmation on the buyback pulling from lifetime account or do we have an ill-informed rep?
Cheers.

I'm pretty sure this is the policy. It seems to be the policy for all the loyalty programs I am aware of, points once earned always count towards lifetime status (assuming the points earned originally count towards lifetime status- such as base only points for Hyatt not bonus, bis miles for the airlines...)

Is there still any membership length requirement for lifetime status?
I have checked the official Marriott page here and I see no mention of a number of years.
Darius over at Million Mile Secrets mentions 12 years in this post. The post is several years old and the number number of elite nights and points has clearly changed.
I just can't find any mention anywhere saying that in the program changes Marriott has removed the number of years requirements.
If I understand it right, it seems like if I get the Marriott rewards card, put $2,250,000 on the card, I'll get 750 elite nights and 2+ millions points qualifying for lifetime Platinum.
Is that correct?
