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.

I think that there could be a pretty decent way to impute points from nights. You need 2667 points per night for lifetime plat with the current Marriott program. For any period they don't have records of points they could assign points toward lifetime status based on a formula. You may come out a bit ahead or a bit behind your actual spend but it would work. Rooms were probably cheaper 15 years ago anyway.

Which is roughly what the points requirement does now.

Theoretically you are absolutely correct, it could be a copy paste of the SPG solution. However since MR moved away from the lifetime status years model they must have a good business reason to do so. Hence I would say it's unlikely but of course not impossible for a revert back to such a model. If I allow myself to speculate I would say a more likely scenario would be to consider a $ based model or a base nights based model (actual nights in bed) or some combination there of.... But I have been wrong before so all we can do is wait and see and hope MPG doesn't become a WoH type fiasco.
Ie, this is lifetime status we're talking about, with lifetime qualification, not annual status with annual qualifcation, so it needs to be based on metrics that they already have, going back many years. New metrics which they've never even used for annual status, how likely are they to have kept track of a total of those for decades?
... Meanwhile, another thing they could do is offer a choice (between the current Marriott model and the current SPG model). For example:
NNN lifetime nights plus (either XXXXXXX lifetime ponts OR YY years in this status)
In that case, if you get to XXXXXXX lifetime points first (along with NNN lifetime nights), you're in. Or, if you get to YY yesrs in this status first (along with NNN lifetime nights), you're in.

I like this debate... I switched over to Marriott Jan 1 of last year to start accruing points in case that becomes a factor, and I already had SPG LTP locked in.
Thankfully my travel only started with SPG in 2000, so if 15 years is the marker, I likely lost less than 50 nights worth of accrual points wise.
I am hoping my 630 SPG nights along with my 150 new Marriott nights carries the day, and I stay LTP.

The problem with base nights and $ based is that won't work if they haven't been keeping track of all of that at both Marriott Rewards and SPG for enough years.
Ie, this is lifetime status we're talking about, with lifetime qualification, not annual status with annual qualifcation, so it needs to be based on metrics that they already have, going back many years. New metrics which they've never even used for annual status, how likely are they to have kept track of a total of those for decades?

Does transferring United MileagePlus points to Marriott Rewards increase lifetime Marriott points? Logic tells me no, but....?
