Lifetime points are missing from the profile section of the website and show as 0 in the Marriott mobile app. However, you may be able to use the work-around referenced in this blog post to see your current Lifetime Points.
You can still view your lifetime points online with the following steps:
If you call Marriott they can also tell you your lifetime points balance.
http://www.marriott.com/marriott/rew...te-benefits.mi As of 20 May, this process does not work. There is no link called "Night Detail" on this page.
To check lifetime balances: (HT to txpenny)
1. Click "Night Detail".
2. Click "Learn More" (under the night total)
3. Click "Marriott Rewards Overview". At this point you're probably no longer logged in (because you've been thrown to an older version of the Marriott website), so log in again.
4. Click "Nights" under your current year's nights. -> The detail you're expecting showing LT nights and points will show up like before.
Lifetime Silver Elite:
250 qualified nights
1.2 million points
Lifetime Gold Elite
500 qualified nights
1.6 million points
Lifetime Platinum Elite
750 qualified nights
2.0 million points
To check your point and night balance, log into your account and click My Account > Account Overview > Nights.
"Elite Lifetime Status is determined by your total qualified nights stayed and points earned throughout the course of your membership – including your paid nights, Elite rollover nights, meeting nights and the nights and points earned on your Marriott Rewards Credit Card."
Points used by members to buyback their previously attained Elite level will be permanently deducted from their Lifetime point balance.
If an elite's point level drops below that required for the level attained, they will drop down to the next Lifetime level until points are accumulated to get them back to the next level.
Lifetime points in addition to nights now display on your Marriott Rewards account. When logged in, click on "Nights" (the blue link below the number representing your current year nights). You'll see the detail of what comprises your current year nights as well as your Lifetime Status nights.

OP stated his MR membership started in 2014. His profile says his FT account started in 2013.

This is entirely possible....and with rollovers it can be done in 2 years.

And if you run a bunch of meetings, you can do it in a couple of months.

Buying Points
If I buy points do these count towards Lifetime points balance. I'm close to LT Platinum and can guarantee if I do this (and the points count). It says in the T&C that purchased points don't count to elite status....which is vague

I am about 90% sure I have purchased points and they have counted towards. Lifetime. To se sure, buy 1,000 points and if it does change your LT balance up 1,000, you will know for sure.

I've been seeing a lot of information about transferring points from SPG to Marriott will not count towards lifetime status, but what about Marriott to Marriott accounts? My wife has over 100k Marriott, if she transfer me the annual limit of 50k, would that count towards my lifetime status?
I tried to search the thread for that question but was unsuccessful.

No, a transfer of points from SPG to Marriott does not count

Okay, I understand about transferring MP points to count towards lifetime status, but what about if you are short on NIGHTS?
Husband is LTP with almost 900 nights and 3.5 million points. I've passed the LTP point threshhold with over 1.6 million points but I have only 380 nights. Is there any way I can get credit for the 120 nights from my husband (who would still exceed LTP requirements)? I can easily show that at least that many nights of his have been joint stays (timeshare nights and other vacations).

From the wikipost atop this thread:
Lifetime Platinum Elite
750 qualified nights
2.0 million points
No, there's no way to transfer nights between people. The two ways to "manufacture" nights are:750 qualified nights
2.0 million points
1. Spend on the Chase Marriott Rewards card. In addition to earning points, you earn an extra status night for every $3000 in spend. (Plus you earn 15 automatically every year for just having the card.) But it takes an enourmous amount of spend to get the 370 nights you need to get to LTP (and by doing that much spend, you'd get the extra 400k points way earlier).
2. This is not always as cheap as the thread title suggests, but:
actually gives you Platinum via 80 nights, so putting it "on steroids" could get you 160 nights in 16 days or 320 nights in 32 days, etc. But, again, you'd then be short about 400k points too.

My timeshare ownership has helped me get plenty of nights, but not enough $ spend to qualify for LTP yet. If you can book Marriott getaways through Interval, some of the week long stays in a studio go for $200.00 and you get 7 nights credited.

Ah yes, thanks, I misread. When the SPG and Marriott programs merge, I'll probably be in better lifetime shape...and yes, our joint stays are now in MY name...will deal with the points later.

SPG doesn't use lifetime points at all, so it's unclear for example if the merged program will even worry about lifetime points or not. SPG also has a lower lifetime nights total (but doesn't count rollover nights), so that too may or may not be "recalibrated". Finally, SPG has a minimum number of years in the annual status level you're seeking as lifetime, so the merged program may or may not add something like that.
