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.

Year 1: (39 x 10 EQN per meeting) + 15 (annual CC nights) = 405
Year 2: 330 rollover nights + 15 annual CC nights
TOTAL: 750 nights
Considering the annual CC fee that will kick in for the second year and assuming your meetings were $50/each, that's about $2K in cost.
Points are another matter. You could spend $1,270,000 on the CC to get those same 390 nights, plus the ones you get for the card in the first and second year, and also wind up with 750 nights plus $1,270,000 points (assuming all spending is via MS or your business or whatever... no bonus points for Marriott spending), but that still leaves you short of the LT Platinum requirement by 730K points.

Getting LT Plat nights in just over a year and for ~$2K is easy. Even if you have 0, you can get the 750 needed by getting the Chase Marriott card and hosting 39 $50 meetings.

There are two different programs. One is credit for nights booked (with the guest and travel planner both getting credit) and the other for meetings. Yes, it's confusing, but they are different and proper planning can cause it to happen.

How about this part:
A signed group or catering contract with the hotel sales department is required and must include the Member’s Rewards Program Membership Number.

Yes, that is ONE of the two programs. A post earlier this month in
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/24114214-post872.html shows no rooms needed.

I'm not asking to be flippant, but why would anyone wast $2k for LTP? If you aren't staying in Marriott enough to be Plat, how and why would LTP be worth $2k? What would be the point?

Again, I'm not frustrated, but curious. Maybe you're seeing something I'm not. If you share that, I can learn and possibly benefit under similar circumstances in the future. Rather than being frustrated, I'm looking to possibly learn something new that can only be seen from a different vantage point.

It doesn't frustrate me in the least. Rather, I'm curious why anyone would want to do this. I really want to know, because I'm not seeing it. LTP gives not additional benefit above Plat. If someone isn't staying at properties enough to warrant being Plat, I'm not seeing what benefit would be worth $2k that would cause someone to pay for LTP. It seems easier and cheaper to just purchase Concierge access. The additional points don't seem to warrant this, as if you aren't staying enough to collect meaningful bonus points.

I would like to achieve LTP one day because knowing that I will always be platinum is nice. One day I will get off the road so having that status for whenever I take a vacation is a big plus.

I think they hired people to come up with the rules just to confuse not only us but themselves as well. Many MR people get the formula wrong too.
