It can take up to 7 business days from the day you qualified for your Lifetime Platinum status to be picked up by the system.

yes you can go into the dashboard and click on lifetime and it will show you some of what you need to know.

You need to remember number of years as Gold/Plat, which is why I have it listed in my signature block - otherwise I'd forget. I'm hoping to hit Plat 2015-2019 so that I've got lifetime Plat. I've got 495 nights right now so I don't need to worry about nights for lifetime Plat.

I am sure this has been suggested; once someone reaches LTG .... why can't their night/stay counts reset at 25nights/10stays .... so that way it is easier for some of us with LTG to reach Platinum status 
I am about to reach LTG as a leisure traveller and if it resets at 25/10 it would make my life much more beneficial

Just to clarify, you have to QUALIFY 10 years, not merely be Platinum for 10 years. So to answer the 9 year question, Jan.1 you will NOT be LTP... but with creative mattress running, you COULD be LTP by the morning of Jan. 26th.

As you only receive 1 stay credit for multiple rooms, wouldn't you have 9 stays and 27 nights? That doesn't qualify for Platinum status.
Yes, that is the definition of "as long as you're a member in the program."

No, you get stay/night credit for up to three rooms booked/paid under your account. So three rooms for 10 one-night stays will earn you 30 stays. Of course presuming changing properties each night.

Question on LT Plat Status
Curious as to how exactly LT Plat Status works. I currently have over 500 nights and 9 years as a PLT. So, next year I would theoretically hit LT Plat. I am eager to hit that ASAP considering the news today....so when would the LT Plat kick in next year? Right when I requalify for PLT for the 10th year I hope?

Does the lifetime nights total on my account page reflect try progress toward my 500 night requirement? What about the annual Amex night kicker I get from having the card. Are those nights not in this total? or do they need to be backed out? Do I need to call for my real number?

The best place to discover your LT progress is on the SPG Promos dashboard; I believe it's the most accurate, and excludes Caesar's nights, etc. Even better, I believe it also displays the year progress towards LT, which was missing on the old account page.

Ok. So I checked the dashboard. 418 nights. So next January when I get my Amex boost this number does not go up? Just my YTD number goes up?

13. How about nights earned for having the Amex SPG card? I see that status from having the Amex cards will count towards the "years of status" total, but will nights earned pre-Oct 1 2011 for having the card count as well, or like award nights, count only after that date?
William: Yes to AMEX card nights as far as helping to attain Platinum, but not as a factor in adding to the number of nights needed for Lifetime status. No to award stays pre-October 1, 2011.
