Lifetime Platinum - downgrade?
 

Just received my new card for 2016. it says Platinum Elite Lifetime. I have been Platinum Premier for the past 5 years and qualified Lifetime Platinum 2 years ago but have always gotten the Platinum Premier card. My account status still shows Platinum Premier, but I have been told downgrades will happen the end of February. Am curious though, have I just been downgraded? Not happy about this if true.

My guess is yes, you are about to lose PP status. I know I am going to lose it, since I shifted all our nights to my wife's account once I made LTP to start working on her LT status, and I got a card that said LTP this year.

The same thing happened to me. The only thing I will say is that I had my United status renewed last week at the gold level by Marriott so hopefully I am keeping my PP status.

This thread got me thinking. What exactly are the levels once Plat is reached?
Platinum
Platinum Premier?

Platinum Premir Elite?
Lifetime Plat?

I just got my new package and I'm Platinum Premier Elite again for this year and have been Lifetime Plat for quite a few years now.
From what I can tell, the P.P.E. doesnt really get you much and infact I just had to call to be added to the last Promo as I didnt get auto enrolled as usual. (2nd or 3rd time I've had to do this)

What are your thoughts and what is the highest level you can obtain at Marriott?

Gold and lifetime Gold which are the same level
Platinum and lifetime Platinum, also same level
Platinum Premier

It's not that complicated

And Platinum Premier Elite?

Feel free to add the word elite to the end of any of them it doesn't change anything.

If you have to ask, you're not eligible for it.

Several reports of a level available only by Marriott C-level invite. Offered to Marriott family, Marriott board, executives who are friends of Bill or Arne. In other words, not us.

Platinum Elite is the proper name of the tier. It's often referred to as Platinum as shorthand.

Lifetime Platinum is not a tier. It's a qualification that allows you to maintain Platinum Elite status every year without meeting the qualifications.

Platinum Premiere Elite is a different tier, though it's unpublished so I'm taking the name from those who have posted with that reference.

Silver Elite and Gold Elite complete the set of four Elite levels.

Sure sounds like you have. You need to stay more/spend more if you want to attain it next year.

I've been PP and I also didn't get a promo offer this time; I have yet to call about it.

OTOH I guess this means that I requalified as PP.

I would agree that you are back to being LTP.

This happened to me two years ago. I was PP and then "downgraded" back to LTP.

Now I am back up at PP. Go figure.

Really no discernible difference between P and PP.

+1 Current PP with LTP and I guess I am about to be demoted back to Platinum on 3/1. Agree PP vs. P hasn't made any noticeable difference. UA Gold is nice for the rare times I do fly on UA.

What is the difference in benefits between Platinum and Platinum Premier?

There are no written differences besides the phone number for service. Some hotels treat you better.
