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.
Starwood / Marriott merger
Q : What will happen to my Lifetime Status when the programs merge together in the future?
A : Rest assured we will always recognize your Lifetime Status, whether it is today in your earned program or in the future with a new, combined program.

William just advised me that even though my counter says 10 years Elite, I have 1 year of Gold and 9 years of Plat. So no LT Plat for me this year. 
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.

On the right it tells you how many more Platinum status years needed to get LTP. Sadly I need 2 more years after this year

My counter says 0 years and 0 nights to achieve Lifetime Gold.
Not sure how to attach an image.

I had my 250th night 10 days ago and the email about lifetime gold arrived today.
Last week, my counter also said 0 years and 0 nights to LTG. Today, it says "You're LTG, X Platinum years for LTP and YYY nights."

To achieve Lifetime Platinum status in SPG, a member has to be Platinum for 10 years and have 500 elite qualifying nights.
1 year at Gold and 9 years at Platinum plus 500 elite qualifying nights would not get it done.

I made it!
I re-qualified for 2017 with my 10th consecutive year as a Plat, to reach the SPG Holy Grail.......Glad it's done because I think there will be some Marriott turmoil moving forward.

William had it fixed. It now says 1 year to LT Plat.
Guess mine never worked properly so the only number that jumped out at me was the years counter that kept getting closer and closer to 10! Sucks to celebrate crossing a milestone and then finding out you didn't. Joke's on me.

Think of it another way. You get to celebrate that milestone again next year!! You have a year to plan the great celebratory stay that will help you cross the milestone! Where should we party?

Too funny. I'd love to find out I'm a year younger than I think I am.

I received my SPG Amex in 2013. I have met the $30K spend requirements in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Yet my dashboard shows only two years at Gold status.
How can I get this corrected? Please advise.
