When does elite status change, if lower. for the coming year?
Midnight (local time) 31 Jan 20xx
(website/mobile app resets Midnight Central USA / Chicago / Houston time)
If status, due to achieving a higher status, is high, the change should update quickly -- once the miles/PQMs post or reason for new higher status is processed.
Note to earn a status level (if not due to MMer companion status or a matched / challenge status), you need to meet all the required elements for the status level in a calendar year unless you are exempt / waived from a requirement
- PQMs
- PQDs
- 4 UA operated flight segments
Earn Silver / Gold / Plat / 1K this year, how long will it last?
If you earn a status level (not a challenge), it is good for the remainder of the year you earned it plus the full next calendar year plus January of the next year. So a minimum of 13 months up to 24 months. Example if you earn a new status in Aug of YYYY you will have at least the status until January YYYY+2
The app / card / website shows my status expiration as Jan XXXX but I thought it was Jan XXXX+1?
This is standard, the shown expirations date is always for the next January, it will be updated at the end of that January to the next year's January (if appropriate)

Is there anywhere to confirm when my Premier Status expires?
I am currently Premier Silver, but i didnt earn Silver last year, and am hoping to claim it using RewardsPlus;
How can one check the expiration date of your status?
If I earned Silver last year, my status would continue thru Jan 2019, but would there be anywhere to see this date

It will not show the Marriott match which is the OPs query

I have my bump to Marriott Platinum, so I should be covered there thru 2018 and first part of 2019.
Have yet to see any news re: RewardsPlus and 2018
I have Flex PQM , they expire 3/31/2018, so I need to know if i should apply them to 2017 (in case RewardsPlus wont continue) or 2018 (they are expiring anyways)
I know I seem maybe ask the same questions over and over, but sometimes if you arent careful with these programs and how they work, i can get burned

Depends. How many do you have expiring and how many need for 2017 to hit the next tier? Applying FPQMs to 2018 will give you a jump on 2019 status (good till Jan 2020).

While I did have some back in 2016, I was not aware of that. I converted from the Personal PP Card to the Business Club Card in 2014, so I burned my expiring Flex Miles back in 2016.

However, I dont want to waste them if i dont have to
If RewardsPlus continues this year, my Marriott Platinum will cover me for Silver, and I can apply the 11,000 expiring miles to the 2018 qualifying year, just in case RewardsPlus doesnt continue "next year"
Complicated I know
I have plenty of Flex PQM (but not enough to burn randomly), newly acquired Marriott Platinum status, and 12K short of Silver from 2017

At this point, you can wait to next month/February to see what happens. if status continues you are fine.
If status does not continue your have Febraury to see if the Marriott programs continues
If the Marriott match program does not continue (unlikely IMO), you have March to decide if how to use your FPQMs

From what I'm reading, seems OP is not currently enrolled in RewardsPlus. So if the accounts aren't linked, status will NOT continue. So perhaps prudent to do so at this time?
Unfortunately, the digital MileagePlus card doesn't update its expiration date, so would have to wait until Feb 1 to see if it worked.
