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.

When does lifetime status take effect?
Hello,
I am ten nights away from lifetime status in the Starwood program. I currently have 800 nights but only nine years of elite status. In ten more stays, I will have Platinum elite locked up for 2017...will my lifetime status reflect immediately? Should I call?
With all the turmoil at Starwood currently, I figure having lifetime Platinum can only be a good thing.
Thank you.

It might not update immediately but it will in fairly short order. Also, unless I am misunderstanding something since you will be earning Platinum status for the year (and based on your profile already are Platinum) the lifetime status will sort of be redundant (at this point). Your next thresholds to unlock additional benefits are at the 75 and 100 night level.

I think the details are in the LTP thread. I remember posting how long it took after my qualifying stay, and others chimed in. Iirc, it seemed like a monthly process, so anywhere from 1-4 weeks was typical.

I see my Liftime Platinum status no longer appears on my online profile.
Is this new? A glitch? A reflection of the incoming merger?
Hopefully I can find that big hunk of metal they sent me.
Cheers,

Or maybe it's a reflection that you'll be losing your status after the merger, which hasn't been voted upon, isn't approved by any oversight agencies, and, thus, is not a done deal. *sarcasm*

Just hit 500 nights (and a dozen years). I would have shifted some of my recent nights to later in the year, but I decided to just get it over with given all the uncertainty.

I wonder if this has happened to anyone else, as there is no way to know how many years you have of each, and frankly, I don't remember how I got my status 10 years ago.
