When will our 2018 nights combine? Anything we need to do to initiate that?

You have to manually initiate the combination of accounts here when it becomes available.

Another datapoint:

Did 9 stay challenge Marriott Plat -> Plat on new site as on 10:20am CST.

I'm a Life Plat, and my status currently shows as Plat. I don't have an stays until next week, so I will give it until the middle of this week before calling in.

With 110 nights* in 2018 i was granted Plat Premier + Ambassador.
This is likely a bug which i hope would be sorted out soon given that my spend was no where near 20,000.


*Fun fact: All nights were from rewarding events.

​​​​​​Same here. I'm a bit confused as if the system were solely counting actual stays, disregarding any challenge status, I would show as gold.

By keeping you at Platinum, it actually IS essentially disregarding your challenge status. It sees you as Gold in the old system. I really hope this is a bug because I wouldn't have stayed at Marriott if it weren't for the Plat challenge.

See their official site table for the new status conversion:

We both got Platinum under old Marriott and should be Platinum Premier Elite.

Given my background in IT, do give at least a week for them to sort out all these teething issues. This is like performing brain surgery on a patient that is fully conscious.

I have now two Marriott Plat accounts :eek: Earned SPG Gold (26 nights) and subsequent MR Gold (30 nights on that side)

Now by the time they get combined I'll pass 75 for PP - hopefully it goes well

I am as well. good on nights, but far short on spend...I’ll be interested to see if I get to keep the ambassador for the year!

Maybe i should go book a room now and then ring up my "ambassador"

Funny, yours says Jan 2020, mine says Jan 2019. Any ideas?

jerseygirl Aug 19, 2018 1:42 pm

Just discovered I was lifetime (infinity sign) platinum,never really paid attention
Guess that’s why I don’t have date in mine
i was gold at Marriott probably from gold from SPG (timeshares) or from lifetime god at United due to attaining Million miles
Hmmmm, maybe I’ll stay platinum in 2019 and still get lounge access
Need to read some more about merger benefits

If you upgrade the app (to blue logo), you should see your updated status. Under the old app (red logo) I was seeing same as you.

I suspect I will need to refresh my desktop browser to see same on full site.

Did that and have the blue logo app but still showing as Platinum not PP. Not a major issue I guess but I will be checking out of a Marriott in a few days after a week long stay so the extra points would have been nice. I'll be on 74 nights for this year then anyway so almost qualify afresh

Wife = Platinum elite - from Gold elite, via US Ritz Carlton credit card
Myself = Platinum elite - from Gold elite , via spg gold, via CDN Amex Platinum Business
Brother = Platinum elite - from Gold elite, via spg gold, via CDN Amex Platinum Business
Mom = Gold elite - from Gold elite, via spg gold, via CDN Amex Platinum Business

Not really sure what to think now

as an update, when i last checked this morning, mom status also updated to platinum elite

The people who got comped status from SPG via credit cards definitely seem to be getting the best of it at the moment!

Maybe David Flueck will come out and do a mea culpa and tell us that only Marriott Plats without LT status should have any cause for concern.
