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.

Well that's your problem...why would you NOT ask for upgrades?
Often, the agents may forget to upgrade you, so I always ask...its quite funny how many upgrades I have gotten simply by asking. OR even better, respond to the virtual concierge email by asking for an upgrade.
My % is at least 70%, but again I ALWAYS ASK!!!!

I fully agree, it's fairly rare unless I ask. However when I do ask (and research their availability of room types before asking), it's been at least 50%. It also depends on the length of the stay, I've had better chances with 1-2 night stays with a late check-in as opposed to a Mon-Thurs travel schedule.

If all rooms are the same, then there isn't much of an upgrade they can give you. However if there are other rooms available that are better than your room (e.g. larger suite), you can ask.

At Springhill Suites, I never ask for an upgrade because usually they only have 2 room options...1 king bed or 2 queen

Verifying question. I think they do count, based on my search, but wanted to verify.
Do all points count? Including Megabonus, elite bonus, and points in lieu of Plat gift?

If you are asking if all count toward lifetime status the answer is yes. Credit card points count, too.

Thank you. Yes, that was my question. It seemed too good to be true, so I wanted to verify.

It's only a problem if you care. Why should I ask for something that's not important to me? If I get an UG, it's nice, but when you check in late at night and leave the next morning, why would you bother? Just to be able to feel important? It's not like I'm going to use the extra space.
Besides, I've got bigger fish to fry. I need a feather free room. If they've done their job and gotten the room ready, I'm happy. The last thing I want is to sit around while they get a suite ready instead of taking the room that's already prepared. Time is more important than getting a suite. Unlike others, for me, it's not a matter of just being given a different key. It's a thirty minute wait.
With that said, though, since becoming Plat Prem, many times it is a suite that has been made feather free. The hotels are doing this on their own. That rarely happened when I was Plat. Despite not asking, it seems I am getting more UGs than most on this thread, so I fail to see how my not asking is a problem. Maybe my not asking is an asset.
I also stay at many different hotels and am a prolific top TripAdvisor poster. Might that help with the suite UGs? Who knows.

Guess it was a glitch. Lifetime points are finally showing again.

After reading your post, I asked for an upgrade (through virtual concierge reply) for the first time in my life. My wife and I are now enjoying a fabulous Deluxe Suite at the JW Hanoi. Not sure it would have happened if I didn't ask as this is my first stay at this property.
Thanks! I may just make this a habit.

I will be meeting the nights requirement well before the points requirement is made (for LT Plat). Does the bonus from taking out the credit card count towards lifetime earnings? (I know the points from the spend does).
With the T&C now allowing for a card every 24 months (since you last received the bonus), churning the card once or twice will make the difference if the bonus counts.
