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:
  1. Go to www.marriott.com and login
  2. Go to https://www.marriott.com/rewards/rewards-program.mi
  3. Click "Nights"
See screenshot of what to click.

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.

Combined nights and years at status level will count, but since SPG did not track points Marriott is not allowing the combination of nights and points to count. ;More information can be found in the Wiki of this thread, which is updated regularly by the Starwood company rep with company vetted answers. Official announcement – See how our three loyalty programs will become one in August

NOTE: Members that reach 750 nights and 10 years at Platinum by December 31, 2018 will be grandfathered into Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status (notified January 2019). In addition, members that achieve Marriott Rewards Lifetime Platinum under the legacy requirements by year end will also be grandfathered into Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status. And, don’t forget that we’ll combine Lifetime activity across both Rewards and SPG toward qualification when members combine accounts in August. Beginning in 2019, qualification into Lifetime Platinum Premier Elite status will not be available. See FAQs for details
As another FTer posted on the new program announcement thread, it does seems you can get LPP with your combine nights of 750 + 10yr of Plat status.

Just did some quick math for myself and I will be about 70 to 80 nights short if this is really the case. But I don't know how many combine Platinum year though. Need to decided if I should do some meetings before Aug 1st.

Given SPG does not carry LT points, adding zero will not help. Now there are ways to churn SPG points into MR LT points, but I'll let you find that on your own.

SPG does carry SOME of a member's lifetime points, so for most members it would be more than zero if they allowed it.

Are you talking about for example a 100,000 point SPG account balance that will auto-convert in August to 300,000 points into the unnamed Combined program?

The numbers is grossly understated and of no use so may as well be zero. Doesn't matter, I am sure they are not considering trying to pull something together. The new program is set to use nights and years of status. What's funny is MR hasn't been tracking YOS, but I guess that's easier than getting SPG LT points.

Don't know about that...the SPG Master Statement has a nice column w/all points generated, pretty easy to sum it up.

Won't be surprised if this $ spend total come 8/1 is a total CF...they can't even answer the phones or return an email these days, what makes anyone think they will be able to correctly sum up eligible spend at dozens of properties/brands?

IDK about that

there was a time where LT status was total nights, total points AND years at that particular elite status
somewhere in the past few years they dropped the years at that particular status requirement
So they clearly have a mechanism for doing this

Lifetime SPG points are at least current SPG points. If you add my SPG nights to my Marriott nights, and 3 times my current SPG points to my lifetime Marriott points, I pass the threshold for lifetime PP. So it seems only fair that I get it.

There has been nothing that I have seen that indicates that will happen

My understanding is that if you can add your points together and have ten years at the 50 night status between the two programs you will be eligible to be grandfathered into LTPP under the new program. Without the ten years, though, you are SOL. Points will not matter if the nights need to be combined. See the Wiki on the Starwood board sticky, question B6 for details. There is still one open question on this so that answer is subject to change, but the unanswered question is relatively new and the answer to the older questions are pretty consistent in that without the ten years' history the combined nights will not get one the LTPP status.

Hope you'll indulge a long time lurker a newbie like question.

I've got about 900 nights and about 1,540,000 lifetime points currently with Marriott (some nights go back to the days when certain brands didn't accrue points) so I was closing in on Lifetime gold in the current program. I'm an infrequent traveler these days after career changes. I've got about 30K with Starwood. Up till the announcement I had been assuming they'd add in the 30K from Starwood to become 90K at Marriott - putting me over the 1.6M threshold to get what is now known as Lifetime Gold. (which I gather will be converted to the "new" Plat as Gold sort of looks like what Silver is now)

Do you think they'll put me in at Life Gold converting to the "new Plat" with the merge or do you think I'll get sucker punched to the "new" Gold?

For LT status, if your eligibility depends on combining nights from the two programs, points won't matter, it will be the nights you have stayed and the number of years you were at that level of higher. You will need 400 nights and seven years at Gold or higher for LTG or 750 nights and ten years at Plat for LTP. SPG did not track LT points so there is no rule allowing combining points from the two programs that will get you to LT status.

You presently do not have enough points for Marriott LTG and since you have not provided the number of years you were Gold or higher it is impossible to know if you will qualify for LTG or P under the new program.
