Agent advised that a PP benefit allows us to book 5 day packages vs 7 day packages at lesser points. She mentioned it was only available to MVC owners and Marriott PP (not regular platinum).

Been PP for a few years now and my Lifetime Card say Platinum Premier Lifetime. Never noticed anything special, overseas seems to take care of PP folks a little better with upgrades. That's about it.

Sure. When I get home I will look for it. I do not carry cards with me. My kids might even have it. I gave them a card to use in Sydney in case someone questioned them in the lounge without me. I'll look around and when I find it, I will post it.

Platinum premier requires an annual spend and/or stay basis (of course we don’t know what that is). I can’t imagine they offer lifetime status for the “premier” status.
I would double check that card. You’d be the first FT ever to be conferred this status.

You certain about this? I’d check to make sure it doesn’t state “platinum elite lifetime”.

Fair enough, I'll double check when I find it. I am probably wrong. Don't really look at the cards that often and don't carry them with me unless kids need them for another room. I know at last family stay I handed out three cards, wife and each kid. Said carry these on you in the Marriott just in case.

IIRC, I was PP when I made LTP, and pretty sure my card says "Plat Lifetime" (only)- but like @ZZYZXROAD, I have zero idea where the physical card is right now

I did look for my card after seeing the post, while I have been Plat Premier for several years, maybe 5 or so, and am a lifetime plat, my card says Plat Premier and that it expires 2/2018. No reference to lifetime status at any level.

PP on App - LTP on website
After flitting between Platinum Premier and reverting back to Lifetime Platinum for last 5 years or so. I was pleasantly surprised (although much less pleasant after finding out that United Gold was no longer a perk !) around January 10th when I logged in to find I was back in the Platinum Premier fold.
However, when I logged onto the Marriott website to make a booking last night, I was back to Platinum. Later on I checked an existing reservation on the Marriott App to find that I was still Platinum Premier and still am today !!
I’ve taken screenshot of both and was tempted to email MR .. but then I thought what benefits would I be missing out on ?

I suspect this is because most North America properties are franchised to owners and management companies that own/operate hotels under multiple brands while most international properties are managed by Marriott.

Got recognized as PP at a FI in Minneapolis tonight.... probably the first time since last summer I heard someone recognize me at checkin that knows what that status is.
To answer the poster's question about what additional service PP affords me over PT... the answer is a big fat nothing-burger.
