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.

Just checking to see if your Marriott accounts reads the same as mine. My account shows me as a Platinum Elite. Not Lifetime Platinum Elite. But I am. I have an email from Marriott from a year ago that congratulated me.
For those that are Marriott Lifetime Platinum Elites, does your account show that on the Marriott page of does it just say Platinum Elite?

That lifetime counter is broken for some (including mine). They've known this issue since January-ish but have yet to fix it. If you call, they will have the correct lifetime status / count.

Well, since we seem to be playing a CSR vs. CSR game, I will put Sarah J. into the ring. According to my chat with Sarah J. (below), we DO indeed have until the end of 2018 to achieve LTP and be grandfathered into LTPP. I've lost count of the two sides, but I think "end of year" is starting to pull ahead... ?
Sarah J (4/19/2018, 3:08:19 PM): You have been connected to Sarah J. How may I help you?
Me (4/19/2018, 3:08:38 PM): Hi Sarah... this is Dan. I have a couple questions on my MR account.
Sarah J (4/19/2018, 3:08:47 PM): What can I answer for you
Me (4/19/2018, 3:09:26 PM): First, I heard somewhere that the "lifetime nights" counter on the website is sometimes wrong, so I would like to confirm how many lifetime nights I have. I show 723.
Sarah J (4/19/2018, 3:10:13 PM): To date, your Marriott Rewards account reflects 723 lifetime Elite nights and 2,713,508 total points accumulated.
Me (4/19/2018, 3:10:57 PM): OK, so my information is correct... thank you.
My next question is related to the changes coming in August... one which you've probably heard multiple times already...
Me (4/19/2018, 3:12:23 PM): I am obviously very close to Lifetime Platinum (need only 27 more nights). My question is... in order to achieve LT Platinum and then be grandfathered into LT Platinum Premier in the new program, do I have to achieve LT Platinum by August 1st or by December 31st. The materials are unclear. :-/
Sarah J (4/19/2018, 3:12:47 PM): You have until the end of 2018.
Me (4/19/2018, 3:13:55 PM): So, as long as I have my 750 nights by the end of 2018, I will be LT Platinum Premier going forward?
Sarah J (4/19/2018, 3:15:54 PM): Yes, you will have until December 31, 2018 to achieve the Lifetime Elite status thresholds to be grandfathered in at the previous thresholds.
Me (4/19/2018, 3:17:38 PM): OK, but the published materials treat Platinum Premier differently because there IS no "previous threshold" for Premier... that's why there's so much confusion out here.
Sarah J (4/19/2018, 3:18:33 PM): The previous threshold will be the Platinum Lifetime level. If you acheive the Platinum Lifetime level you will then be grandfathered into Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status.
Me (4/19/2018, 3:19:38 PM): OK, great to hear... thank you for the clarification!
Sarah J (4/19/2018, 3:19:52 PM): Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Me (4/19/2018, 3:20:03 PM): Nope, those are what I needed... thank you!

General status on Marriott.com homepage while logged in is platinum, and just "Platinum Elite" on the my account page, but if I click the nights detail link on the account page it says "XX nights needed to renew Platinum Elite" near the top and "Platinum Lifetime Status" on the right side.
0 nights needed to renew Platinum Elite

It is also confirmed on the website that you have until Dec 31:

Marriott Plat was 75 nights, SPG was 50
I hope that MR Gold will count as they are 50 nights but the document reads that it must be Plat
Hopefully we will get a clarification or reconsideration but the way I read it you would have zero Plat years but some towards LT Gold (although the bar has been raised)
SPG Gold years will definitely not count as they are only 25 nights
Don't know if they would count status match years

- Q: In the new program, lifetime elite status will require a certain number of years of status. Will those years be additive across Marriott & SPG?
A: Yes. To determine the number of years you’ve been Platinum, you would add up the number of years you were Gold or higher with Marriot plus the number of years you were Platinum with SPG. They even count both when you had elite status with both programs in the same year.

I received the exact opposite response from the MR call center. I was told that there will be one time points conversion, and grandfather to Platinum Premier, on August 1st, if you have met the threshold for Lifetime Platinum in the Marriott program. Going forward you can still qualify for lifetime platinum in the new program using the old qualifications but it will only map to the lifetime tiers in the new program. The grand fathering to LTPP will be a one time event.
Unfortunately, this seems to make sense as there has been no mention of two points conversions.

where do you find on your MR web page how many years you have been Gold or Platinum? When you click on "Nights" it only shows number of nights and total points. While I'm asking, I have >750 nights but less than 2mm points so I'm a Lifetime Gold. Everywhere I read on the MR or FT websites, it says nothing about points. So, if I am greater than 750 nights, I should be a LT Platinum...in August, would this move me to LTPE?

The new lifetime program that begins on August 1st doesn't allow earnings to LTPE.
The big debate is when you need to achieve the legacy LTP. Some say August 1st while others say Dec 31st. Equally mixed messages are coming out from the call centers and chats so i'm just gonna wait until they clarify it on the website or something.

Agree. I just finished chatting with a MR CSR and she said if I get over 2mm points before 12/31, I would become a LT Plat and thus would then roll over to LTPE on 12/31. Of course, as others have stated, its a CSR vs. CSR tally now so we will have to see how it all works out!
I forgot to ask her before I ended the chat it my SPG points would combine to MR points to help me reduce the deficit and push me over the LTP and get me to LTPE. I doubt it but as a salesman, you have to look at every angle!

I personally will be thrilled if my SPG points convert 1:3 to MR points prior to consideration for LTPP - I will clear that hurdle easily, if so. I'm just not yet even remotely pursuaded that that's what's actually going to shake out (particularly since, for example, the MR table references lifetime status today vs. on Aug 1.
Obviously it would be exceptionally helpful were MR to release the actual formula that will be applied to the two accounts -- if they themselves even know what that is or will be up 'til now...

I have similar questions. I am short on points for LTP. If this points transfer in August from SPG counts toward lifetime points, then I am good to go. If it doesn't, then I guess I have until December 31, 2018, to earn those points from a different source. Right now, since SPG point transfers don't count, I need to assume that they won't count in August, either. But I don't know that for sure.
