Requalified, 25 stays (34 nights so far), helped along a little bit by the double double promo. I didn't requalify last year, so I've had a weekend as a Gold member for a change.

Hit 50 nights last week. I thought I was going to be Lifetime Platinum, but alas, need another 25 stays/50 nights starting 1 Jan 2018.

Hit 25 stays for Plat-lite over the weekend. Incidentally, also hitting 500+ nights and my 10th year of Plat qualification for Lifetime Plat. Got the congrats for making annual Plat but not yet the one for making LTP.
Likely to try hitting Plat50 again this year but it depends if I want to devote attention to SPG or some other programme, now that I should be getting LTP.

After last night, I've just hit SPG50 (and LT Plat) very likely on my way to SPG100 (but probably not as easily as the past few years as my fall travel will be a bit less active than in previous years).

Why do you think this? You think they will cut-off LTP/LTG mid-year? I'm also a few nights short... wasn't overly worried about doing it quickly... but if you have some insider info I'm willing to change my mind.

I did hit my 25 stays for 2018 and in the process 500+ lifetime nights and completed my 10th Plat qualifying year. That's what I said in my previous post. I didn't say nowt about the Double Double promo although my mad home stretch sprint was facilitated by the Double Take promo.

No insider info. LT status is for the life of the programme, and MR has yet to announce how it intends to gut or merge SPG. I prefer to act now and seek the answers to these questions later.

I can certainly see Marriott perhaps changing the thresholds since MR LT (750 nights + 2 million MR points) and SPG LT (500 nights + 10 years Plat) require different thresholds (as do SPG Plat vs MR Plat, for that matter) but to do away with SPG LT members altogether would be quite unusual, in my mind.

In any case, I presume that my Plat requal for 2018 is confirmed since I got the requal congrats email AND the LTP congrats email (along with the link to verify address for the mailing of the metal card).

Sorry brainfart on my part. I signed up for Double Take not Double Double. I'm still puzzled as to why Philly thought that I took up Double Double when I made no reference of the sort in my original post.
