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:
  1. Go to www.marriott.com and login
  2. Go to https://www.marriott.com/rewards/rewards-program.mi
  3. Click "Nights"
See screenshot of what to click.

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 wouldn't bet on that one. Every communication has been that legacy programs are what they are. It was 75 nights at MR.

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

It's December 31.

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.
Starwood Lurker
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.

This is not right. See all the discussion in the previous few posts, especially the Marriott Insider quote. Key here is combined activity counts toward Lifetime Elite status in the new combined program. Only.

I'm with you. I'd be over 1000 nights and over 2MM points combined if they count my SPG lifetime points. I'll be pretty pissed if it doesn't equate to me getting LTPP. It makes good sense - especially if there is no way to ever get to there.

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

You can take your screen shot now as the answer posted above now shows up. I had the same issue you did when I first tried to find it. The question was there but the answer wasn't.

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.

For those still wondering if we have until Dec 31,2018 to qualify for Lifetime Platinum on the old criteria to get grandfathered into Lifetime Premier Platinum, this is the response from Marriott:

Dear xxx,

Thank you for contacting Marriott Rewards Guest Services.

With the information we have to date, with the Gold Lifetime Elite member status with Marriott Rewards you will be eligible for the Lifetime Platinum Elite status in the new loyalty program beginning August 1, 2018.
In order to be grandfathered into the Lifetime Platinum Premier status you will need to earn the Platinum Lifetime Elite status with Marriott Rewards. You will have until December 31, 2018 to earn this status with Marriott Rewards. You currently have xxx Lifetime Elite nights and xxx Lifetime points with Marriott Rewards. The nights and points that you have already earned with SPG will not be eligible towards the requirements. This will be the only opportunity you will have to receive the Lifetime Platinum Premier status.

You can find answers to other questions you have about the new Loyalty program at members.marriott.com.

If we can be of further assistance, please reply to this email.

Thank you for choosing Marriott.

Best regards,
XYZ

I suspect this is why linked accounts require manual effort by customer to combine into the new program. If you wish to qualify for either annual or lifetime status under the SPG rules then don’t combine your accounts. Likewise combining the accounts may negate efforts to qualify under old Marriott Rewards rules and push you into the qualification rules of the new program.

Easily done by running the legacy MR & SPG systems as they exist now in parallel with the new MPG system. We may not have access to all three, but MPG would. That being said, if they have a tough time keeping one system running, all three could be a real challenge for them.

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.

If you only want points for redemption value (not lifetime or status), the Starwood Amex is effectively 3MR/$.
