My wife's account is now showing her at 73 nights and about $16.5K toward Ambassador. 73 is the number of BiB nights that have posted to her account so far this year. So, from her account, it looks like only BiB nights count toward Ambassador, as she has 150 nights credited so far. In one of the myriad threads about SNAs and Ambassador someone suggested that only BiB nights would count for SNAs. She has a link for the 50 night award (which is still stubbed off), but not the 75 night award, so that is consistent with what that poster said. All of the nights that have credited to her account so far this year, by the way, were Marriott stays before the 18th. Nothing has posted since then.

My account, on the other hand, is showing zero dollars, despite having had one revenue stay and one points+cash stay earlier this year.

That's not accurate. The credit card 15 elite nights count towards status, too. The 10 elite nights for the first meeting count toward status, too.
The website still is being debugged and the merged accounts still have incomplete/inaccurate data. So be patient. Sounds like she will be pretty close to earning Ambassador status once the fix the kinks.
FWIW, my merged account indicates 187 nights with $38K spending--and still only Plat Premier status. Even though I already was SPG Plat100 Ambassador level and obviously am new Plat Premier with Ambassador level, too. The website and merged accounts still are being debugged/deglitched.

Actually, the Lurkers have been very reliable and I hope they survive being an FT resource. Many issues are elevated to the appropriate teams then inside SPG with very dependable responses. But yes, there have been reversals of previous decisions once escalated but I feel those have been very rare. Marriott has pretty much abandoned FT years ago when they weren't allow to control the messages posted on FT so they build Marriott Insiders that is fully under their control.

As of this morning it is now showing all 150 nights toward Ambassador and still $16.5K. I make our total spend to be around $18.2K, so I could believe that she is getting credit for everything except taxes.
My account, on the other hand, is showing zero dollars, despite having had one revenue stay and one points+cash stay earlier this year.

The link to the annual benefit has changed to read "You earned Benefits of Choice for staying 50 nights and 75 nights. " Link, however, is still stubbed off.

I am PP with 27 nights this year, awaiting 15 nights from Marriott Credit Card which should be any day, also merge with SPG account adds 15 paid nights this year.
I am hopng to get SNA for staying 50+nights.
What is the best strategy, should I merge accounts first or wait for CC nights to hit?

I am PPE with 69 nights and I don’t see what you are describing, either the link to pick Suite Nights or my total spend. Is it possible to post a screenshot to see if I have the same what you see ?

So, should I be expecting a fat rebate check from MR? I'll take that over Ambassador for sure!

Progress, anyway. My spend is now showing (and it's much less than I'd thought, which is good personally, but the Ambassador ranks won't be swelling on my account) and I just hit 50 days, and the "Select Your Gift" link (which only points to a landing page, for now) shows up.

This morning some of her post 8/18 stays posted. Curiously, the difference between the total hotel charges and the change in her Ambassador total was a good bit less than the total room tax on the stays.

She only had the 50 night link from 8/18 until a few days ago when it changed to 50 and 75. My guess is they just haven't worked through everyone, yet.
Also been tracking the Ambassador spend on the last few stays. Got exactly room charge for two Fairfield stays, room plus incidentals for a Delta stay. Looks like any spend that earns points counts for Ambassador.
