Yipee. I logged into Marriott.com this morning to discover (1) 93 nights from 2017 rolled over to 2018 and (2) that I'm now platinum-premier. The Marriott mobile application also confirms both. As a data point, I have 534 lifetime nights and 1,667,896 lifetime points.

Thanks for the heads up! PP renewed for 2018!! Yay UA GOLD!

Unfortunately Marriott discontinued UA Gold for PPs as per communityinsiders on Marriott Insiders.

Crap. Well in my experience UA Gold was the only thing that made any difference between PP and P. Once I hit LP in 34 nights I'm throwing my loyalty out the window. Keep up the good work Marriott.

It would be nice if it eliminated Marriott gold for United then.

Would Be... seems very lopsided partnership but I wasn't at the table. Maybe Marriott gets something in return that we don't see.

I just called the PP line to voice my displeasure. The very nice lady on the phone did not know about this, and called her supervisor, who then called the supervisor of the UA program and they were all unaware of this change. So hopefully this communitymangers team is wrong.

5 Years of Platinum, no Platinum premier for me again. 140 nights last year, but 40 were from events and credit card.

Unfortunately CM generally seems to know more than agents themselves.

However, we can always wait and see as well.

Ah bummer, thanks for the info. They opened a case, so I should hear back in a few days. I'll post here what I find out.

I thought 2017 status was good for a little while longer, sadly signed in this morning to see I was downgraded from PP to Plat

Not necessarily. I have been PP for years. Despite this, the new site has been showing "platinum elite" for me ever since they first started monkeying with it, and the old site still lists me as "platinum premier." Though my nights/points have reset for 2018, I have not seen any status change on either site. It is quite possible that you are experiencing the same glitch.

Yep, that was it. Still PP on the old site.

How do you know you are renewed for PP this year? If you were already PP last year the site would not change until the end of Feb. when statuses normally expire (or in this case stay the same if you renewed again). The only reason hockeyinsider knows is because he was platinum all along and status changed.

If I remember correctly, the PP box kits usually arrive around the end of Jan / first week of Feb. That's the only indication I ever receive that I have made the status. Website and phone app both showing PP.... IT glitches continue as I see status change almost every other day down to P, then back to PP. Marriott needs to be better about notifying those that have achieved PP status (even though it means nothing as far as an increased level of perks).
