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.

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.
(fwiw, after 30 years building technology solutions, including Fortune 50 merger integration and travel loyalty programs - I'm guessing tracking these numbers is about #4 ,324,876 on the difficulty list in merging the programs)

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:

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.

Hasn't this been beaten to death already? Merging accounts is irrelevant.

I qualified for platinum during a status match in 2002 and then I was platinum in 2003 and then dropped to gold in 2004 for one year but don’t know if I earned 50 nights or if that was a soft landing of some sort. And then I have a bunch of years at mr gold through United.
i have 8 years at spg plat so if I have even one incremental year from mr it’ll help me but there are many unknowns.
i guess if I get 25 stays in spg and 75 nights at Marriott this year I should definitely get double credit for 2018?

So I was told something like this as well by a spg supervisor. I don’t believe it really. The thing that is weird is Marriott rewards has no way to tell me how many nights I had in any given year prior to 24 months ago.

I've been thinking more about the new program and some of the unanswered questions, and I'm confusing myself. I'd appreciate someone either confirming or correcting my scenario below:
- Currently Marriott Platinum (1 year)
- 516 nights at Marriott; Assume 0 at Starwood, in reality it's probably 20 or so nights but I don't know.
- Assume 9 years at Gold or above (haven't called Marriott to confirm, it may be higher)
- Won't make any LT status prior to the new program due to points
Conclusions:
1. I make LT Gold immediately in the new program, regardless of any open items or questions currently
2. If my 9 years at 50+ nights counts as Platinum history (because of stays), I simply need to stay another 84 nights and make the new Plat (50 night) status to get LT Platinum
3. If my 9 years at 50+ nights count as 8 years of Gold and 1 year of Platinum, I need to stay 84 nights and 9 more years at Platinum to make LT Platinum
Do I have that right, considering the open question of how past years will be counted? Anything I'm missing?

To clarify, the part you think is not accurate is that my prior 9 years of >50 nights each will not count at the Platinum level in the new program...So you're assuming they'll use the "metal" designation vs. the number of nights as the historical count?
That would seem incredibly unfair. It would mean that to gain LT Plat status, I'd have to accumulate 19-20 years of 50+ nights, while someone who started under the new program would only need 10 total. Kind of like ignoring the last 10 years of my membership (except the nights stat I guess). If you're correct, and you may be as this is my main point of confusion, I will very seriously consider just taking my LT Gold and becoming more of a hotel free agent based solely on price/location rather than loyalty.

From Marriott's website: "*NOTE: Years of Elite tenure is based on achievement at that level, plus any years at a higher-tier level (e.g., Elite tenure at the new Lifetime Gold Elite status would count years at Rewards and SPG Gold and Platinum statuses, but not Silver status)."
Since Marriott is matching LTG in the current program to LTP in the new program, counting past years as MR Gold the same as future Gold years doesn't seem consistent.

Question regarding Lifetime Platinum Premier
I exceeded the 750 night threshold several years ago. My lifetime points balance currently sits at 1,996,000. I estimate my trip next week will generate approx 6300 points. So my question is - when I get home next Thursday and pour a glass of Macallan 18, do I smoke a Padron Family Reserve or an OpusX with it?

While the Fuente is an amazing choice I’m partial to the family reserve maduros. Just finished off a 1926 and a Blanton’s.
Enjoy the LTPP!

This is over 20 years in the making (I got into consulting in 1997). Seems like I've been stuck at Lifetime Gold FOREVER due to the points requirement. I also have around 400 SPG nights from back in the day, but who cares about that.

As a MR member, if you meet the MR LTP requirements, you will be crowned LTPP in the new 2019 program. Congrats.
