What about a Marriott person who would have had ten years of Plat status if MR had used the criterion of 25 stays? That would be a big mess to recalculate. Similarly for three rooms getting night and stay credit being extended to Marriott nights.
When everyone is LTPP, no one is.

My guess is that the only potential way SPG members can be awarded LTPP as initial LT tier are if they meet the MR LT criteria with their SPG LT activity. Combined accounts will be for the merged program.
I would assume MR members should be able to qualify against SPG LT criteria with their MR activity as well.

Given we are getting different answers from different people depending upon who's asking who, my next step is to wait until an official announcement is made before changing plans. The age-old FT saying: YMMV on this issue as well. Those that have not made contact should let their opinion be known. Those that have made contact just might be the ones to get something changed. Let's see what ends up being reality.

What was clearly communicated was the ONLY path to LTPP is to qualify for LTP under the Marriott structure, with Marriott nights and Marriott points.
Right now there is NO path for a member that is only SPG LTP to qualify for LTPP.

I understand that; my objection to the current mapping of initial LT tier as it stands is that it is unfair since certain SPG members LT activity under the MR thresholds would qualify them for LTPP (or LTP for that matter). We all know what have been communicated so far and many LT SPG members feel treated as 2nd class members.because of this perceived biasness towards LT MR activity .If MAR will do anything about it is an open question, but we certainly hope so.

Wow I would never use my powers of signing expense reports to dictate to employees which business they can and cannot frequent. I certainly don't tell my employees they can't expense a steak just because I don't eat red meat.

Sorry - didn't mean to quote myself.
Hit quote instead of edit for a typo.

To each their own, I can't stop them from claiming for Marriott properties but they will quickly learn that their expenses get approved much quicker if they choose other chains that haven't screwed me over and they will get the message if they don't take my verbal steer to begin with.
