If you had asked before the merger was finalized, then that MIGHT be different.

I mentioned it in the Laguna Resort thread, but I received a certificate for a 60 min Balinese massage for two for being Lifetime Gold. I asked what the gift was for LT Plat and was told it's the same thing. ^ (I will hit LT Plat next year.)
I was there 3 yrs ago as a LT Gold and didn't receive any recognition.

I would politely ask. Say a friend was offered a massage cert for being LT Gold and you were wondering if you're eligible as well.

Sheraton Tokyo Bay offers LT Golds and Plats upgraded amenities, one of which is free breakfast in the main restaurant instead of only just the lounge.

Had no offer of massage voucher a bit miffed as this is our fifth stay with them (am LT Platinum) wonder if I should ask (I hate asking for things, very unbritish!)

But free is free! You really should find out and let us know for the other LT Golds and Plats that will come after you.

By policy, SPG does not match status with any other hotel frequent stay programs.
If you would be interested in completing a stay challenge to reach Platinum in SPG with 18 elite qualifying nights credited to your account in a 90-day window of opportunity, please contact Platinum Concierge directly. They will be able to determine your eligibility, answer any questions you may have, and help you determine the best time frame to register.
You can reach Platinum Concierge by phone at 888-625-6991 or by email at [email protected].

I wouldn't generally be pessimistic; if it weren't for what became of my lost hope for AA LTP after the US-AA merger.

Is anyone still able to see the Lifetime X counter 'dial' when logged into SPG? I just qualified for Lifetime Gold last week (had 3 nights left) but can no longer find where the counter lives on the site.
