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.

What's your source? (please, not "a CSR" or a blog. Or "Someone on FT said they were told that by a Marriott exec")

Marriott representatives on Marriott Insider:
If you achieve Platinum Elite Lifetime status in the current Marriott Rewards criteria by 12/31/2018; this means that you must have stayed 750 nights and have 2M points at Marriott and Ritz-Carlton Hotels. If you achieve this status by year end 2018, you will be grandfathered into Platinum Premier Lifetime status.
Members will have until year-end 2018 to achieve Lifetime status under the current, separate policies. Beginning August 2018, members can also achieve based on their combined nights and tenure the new Lifetime criteria threshold beginning August 2018.

Combining points for LT status
From the Marriott Website https://members.marriott.com/faq/#wh...ifetime-status
In addition, when you combine Rewards and SPG accounts we will combine your lifetime activity across both toward Lifetime Elite status in the new combined program. Members will have until year-end 2018 to complete stays in order to achieve the Lifetime Elite status thresholds to be grandfathered in at the previous thresholds for Rewards or SPG.
So it appears that you will be able to use your combined nights and points to qualify under the old program rules and get the new LT status, including LTPP.

I hope the information you're given is accurate. I am SPG LTP with 635 nights and unkown number of LT SPG points, plus 339 MR LT nights and 987K points. My combined total should exceed 2MM MR points equivalent, and over 980 nights by Aug.1. I would be royally pissed, if I end up as LT Plat Elite (similar to current MR Gold) and no chance to get to LT Plat Premier Elite.

The disappearing answer
I also noticed the version number at the top of the page is different than what I originally saw. The author states he will restore an earlier version if he sees answers to questions that did not come from him or a community manager. I suspect we got caught by that process.

I am confused if they combine all LT activity into a single account, that means that you only have one LT nights balance for instance. How are they going to separate nights historically earned from MR or SPG if they are combined. I highly doubt that they would have sub balances for SPG and MR especially implemented for these few months in addition to the complications associated with the necessity to add SPG MR property legacy nights to respective sub balances.... Hmmm

So, if I apply for the new Chase Premier card after August 1st, do all sign up bonuses and points earned until December 31st count towards my Marriott LT calculation? My plan is to hang onto the old card until I get my 15 night bonus and then switch to the new card to get 2x per $1.
