Now we know: lifetime status (at least according to the popup) is lost.

Hello everyone,
I am very glad to say that my escalation within Marriott and to the CEO was met with a very impressive and positive response. Marriott has made me whole AND listened to my feedback, deciding to remove the lifetime points deduction clause entirely :-) while still continuing to offer the buyback program. With that, I leave everyone with three points:
1) Kudos to the Marriott team for making things right!
2) I hope my efforts has, can, and will help everyone.
3) Reminder to everyone never to be a naysayer or listen to the naysayers. I assume the creators of this site hoped that it would help empower customers and today that dream is fulfilled.
Cheers,
Tigrr49

Cheers.
