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.

Thanks for all your feedback. One thing I neglected to mention is that I have 75 SPG LT nights. Is it certain that Marriott will not allow these to be counted in towards my LT nights under the old parameters? Or is this still unknown? This would put me much closer to the 750 nights needed.

I meant renewing regular plat, I fell at 68 nights in 2017 (75 for plat) and had 738 lifetime nights at the end of 2017 (12 short of lifetime plat). Despite not meeting either criteria for plat, Marriott gave me a break for being barely short of both, and then the 15 credit card nights in march put me at 753 nights.

Until it changes on members.marriott.com, I would just assume no.

Q: If I requalify as a Marriott Platinum Elite, do I have to renew my complimentary Premier Silver status every year?
A: Yes
I consider to open account solely to redeem MR Travel package and will keep my UA flights number lower than yours.

However, it's not conditional on having any activity at United to keeping silver status, you just need to maintain adequate rank (currently MR Plat, in later 2018/2019 Premier Plat) in Marriott to keep the status at United. However many miles/segments you fly at United is irrelevant between 0 and 59,999 miles / 59 segments (if you exceed that, you'd qualify for higher elite status at United than silver).

The hope is that they will count simply because it would be much harder to make them not count. Currently they only have one lifetime nights counter. To have them not count after they're merged, they would need to have to two lifetime nights counters come Aug 1: Lifetime Marriott nights, and Lifetime SPG nights. That's the only way I see that they could keep them separate Aug 1 through Dec 31, but use them together after that (to determine lifetime status by the new nights+years criteria).
I'm assuming it may or may not count, and that I won't know until early August, and planning my stays such that I will get to 750 no matter what (with a bunch of points stays in the last 5 months of the year if my 60ish SPG LT nights don't end up counting).

I would like some advice with my Strategy to get LIfetime Platinum.
I am currenty Gold (dropped from Plat this year) I am on 461 nights and 1.1m points.
I will transfer over points from SPG to get me to 1.6m In order to get the required amount of points.
n regards to the total of 461 nights, I understand that I am 39 nights short.
I have some questions:
1. Will this years SPG nights / stays count towards the lifetime status, I have 15 nights for this year?
2. Marriott Business Credit Card - I am due the annual fee credit of 15 nights - I opened my account in Mid August in 2017 - Are these 15 nights due on July statement or August statement?
3. Amex SPG Card - I could get this for 5 night credit right? I wont get current bonus as I have had before in the past.
I understand I can also do meetings / nights to get the rest of the status, before literally throwing money at this I wanted to double check my strategy and see what will count towards Lifetine Platinum Status,

Points transferred directly from SPG won’t count towards lifetime. You can run them through United first but will lose a lot of points in the process.
SPG nights won’t count as Marriott nights so 1 and 3 in your list are unhelpful. I believe the 15 Marriott CC nights post after your annual fee so I believe you should see them in August / September, plenty of time before December.
I’m in about he same position as you. My current strategy is to move all my spend to the Marriott CC and I’ll do some meetings towards the end of the year and/or transfer Chase UR points to Marriott if I need them.

When is the target / cut-off date to get totals for Lifetine Platinum? Is it August 1st or 31st December?

So you have to "renew" it in the sense that it's a manual match and you need to go to https://mrrewardsplus.com/ and request the match from current MR Plat (and in later 2018/2019, Premier Plat) to United Silver in Janurary of each year. It's some kind of manual update/verification.
However, it's not conditional on having any activity at United to keeping silver status, you just need to maintain adequate rank (currently MR Plat, in later 2018/2019 Premier Plat) in Marriott to keep the status at United. However many miles/segments you fly at United is irrelevant between 0 and 59,999 miles / 59 segments (if you exceed that, you'd qualify for higher elite status at United than silver).

Also, am looking for ideas for earning a ton more points, in case it's August. I'm sure I don't do enough to maximize my potential.

I'm curious about this too. Right now I'm at 738 Marriott nights, and 1.76m lifetime points. I generally earn 30-40k points per month. If the cut-off is August, I'm hosed, if it's December, I might just squeak in...

Will the new status levels still take effect August 1st? For Example Current Marriott Gold Members will be Marriott Platinum in new program.
The reason why I am asking is beacuse I have two objectives, not sure if I can do both:
1. Via Status Challenge Obtain Platinum Status which becomes Platinum Premier on August 1st (thats what I am led to believe)
2. Get Lifetime Platinum by increasing my stays and nights to the required levels, I am led to believe I have till the end of the year to achieve this based on comment above.
Can I try do both options and are there any tips to consider?
