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.

My understanding is that if you've qualified in advance in MR (750+ nights plus 2M points), it's instantaneous LTPP. If you're going into LTPP via 750+ nights plus 10 yrs Plat (combined or otherwise), then Jan '19. I find this highly annoying, but that's my read of published material from MR. Also, as a data point, I have north of 750 nights but only 1.5M points (mostly have stayed in RI and TPS properties over the years at half points earnings, and only recently figured out the CC game). I natively have 11 yrs MR Plat according to the current count in the new app, but LT status still sitting at Silver. Bummer.

My guess is that it's a batch process that they haven't run yet. Probably letting the other dust settle... They'll run it at some point in the near future (hopefully!) and then they'll modify it and run it again in January 2019.
"Instantaneous" didn't happen, but a year from now no one will care.

Sorry all, I was reading cases of MR LTP members reporting LTPP in the new app, so just assumed that aspect had gone off well for all.
Edit: I guess I should've said that it's my understanding that only those of us qualifying LTPP via 750+ nights plus 10 yrs Plat are intentionally being put into the Jan '19 penalty box for unknown (to me) reasons...

Most of the rest of the app and all of the website just shows Plat.
I was not Platinum Premier before and am at 55 Marriott-only EQN so far this year.

The conspiracy theorist might worry that they're looking to see how the LTPP body count is going to stack up, and be either more or less generous with final Plat year credit accordingly. "Sorry sir, that screen shot reflects a mistake from the Aug '18 systems merger - it accidentally counted xyz years that do not actually qualify towards LTPP, and we've since corrected that mistake. Please check your account again and see that you did not meet the criteria for LTPP. Which type of years didn't qualify? Well, you see, that's proprietary <laughs maniacally with hand over microphone>."
Having said all that, thus far it would appear that probably all years in which I held Gold or above made it into my Plat year tally (never kept records, but it feels right), regardless of how I got that status. So thus far, anyway, I am viewing Marriott's approach as being generous and non-nitpicky. Just hope it stays that way...

Quick update: Their back end still needs to go through more processes. I checked in today and they showed that I was Plat instead of LTPP.

Maybe Marriott will surprise us with an early sweep...

Read the terms:
If you qualified on 750 nights + 10 years at platinum, you will not receive notice immediately.

I probably know the terms (at least as they relate to this issue) as well as most folks by now, and I don't think anything I posted suggested otherwise. As senior IT consultant, I'm questioning the why aspect - there's no apparent technical limitation that would lead to such a policy as far as I'm concerned (they have sufficient data - at least for some of us), and that's what I posted about. Barking orders such as "read the terms" is in poor taste, especially in response to a post that was meant to be insightful and helpful to someone completely other than yourself. A more more enlightened approach would simply be something along the lines of "here are the terms." See how different those two read?
I'm guessing a lot of combined activity elites would not be considered without the full years of 2018 being considered as up to 2+ years at platinum (between MR and SPG separately) and they decided those criteria to be worthwhile on niche processing.

Perhaps so - one less script to tangle with just now, with everything else going on.

But the thing is, supposing I combine my account this week and my LT tally shows 750+ nights and 10+ combined yrs plat - they have the info they need. Indeed, in my case I don't even need to combine accounts (according to the current Plat yr count).

I was planning on waiting a good bit before taking the plunge, but my curiosity may get the better of me (once that's enabled for my account - not as yet)...
