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.

Best way to rack up the most points?
So I have my 500 nights, and just under a million points.
What are some of the best ways to build points. To me, silver is useless so it's either Gold or bust.
I did see the post about the bonuses...which of course I sign up for anytime I can, but what are some other ways that I can get the maximum amount of points?
Does anyone know if the Marriott Rewards Visa points count? Because I'm putting just about everything known to man on that card in hopes of trying to get to $1.6k. I'm even paying 2.6% at times (i.e., property taxes) just so I can get the points, but I am not sure if these points actually count toward the Lifetime status, so I figured the best place to ask is here. Not even sure who would know if I did try to call and if it would be reliable information.
The Platinum email level of personnel has gone down in a really big way...the emails have appeared to be from folks where English is not their first language. I feel like I am calling Comcast now too.
Thanks!

I'd also be weary about paying an extra 2.6% just for points alone. That's a huge price to pay. Are you likely to keep traveling much in the next few years? If you're PLT now, you'll drop to Gold for another year when you don't qualify, so is there really a rush?
Finally, I think the program is so diluted and riddled with exceptions and carve outs now that Gold & PLT mean little more than free internet, continental breakfast and a hit or miss lounge experience (in the US), assuming you stay at places with lounges.
Its nice to obtain but almost useless for a vacation stay at a resort...

The Shopmyway mall gives points for shopping at their listed stores. Typically 1-3 for places you might be using already like Walmart or Home Depot. I order things on line for pickup at the local store.

That seems to be a recent practice. It used to be that you got the LT Plat card when you no longer made the 75 nights to earn a "regular" Platinum, but I have been (annual) Platinum each year for many years, and recently I got a new card in the mail with PLATINUM ELITE LIFETIME on it (and no expiration date).
That's nice of them, but I hardly ever have to show the card when I check in, the front desk person pulls up my reservation and says, "Thank you for being Platinum, you're number's already in the reservation" or some such.
I may miss getting the annual "packet" that comes with the card each year, though.

I have another one off exception about the points total. Do points that you transfer from United in their partnership also count in your lifetime balance?

Anyone have an idea how often the Lifetime points are updated on the website. I have had CC spend posted 9/26 and my Lifetime points have not changed.

My online total is correct as of the end of July. The total has not changed since I first saw Kingston's post in the other thread in mid-September. I suspect they put the number up before the finished the software to update it.

Unless someone knows someone in the firm they used to code this on the site, it's all speculation.

Can anyone confirm? Conflicting information in earlier posts...
If a significant other transfers points into your account to redeem a travel package, do the lifetime points of the person redeeming a travel package go up the amount of points transferred to redeem?
