I know in previous years by this point I'd gotten an email, usually keeping me at the same status even if I hadn't quite made the night requirement. This year, nothing. Has anyone gotten their status for 2018 yet?
About a week ago we got the email that our account was being upgraded to Platinum from the MVC account. I am Platinum lifetime so we'd changed our account rewards number to my wife's in preparation for this likelihood so she could be building her status.I got something - can't remember if it was an email, but probably. It said I was being upgraded to gold, which is funny because I have been gold for years, and as long as the Marriott/United partnership continues, we will remain gold forever. (My husband is a 2 million miler at United and so he has permanent platinum status with United, which entitles us to gold status at Marrtiott.)
I received an e-mail indicating I would be upgraded in February.I know in previous years by this point I'd gotten an email, usually keeping me at the same status even if I hadn't quite made the night requirement. This year, nothing. Has anyone gotten their status for 2018 yet?
What exactly did you do? We have used one number and it's my husbands, who is platinum for life. Did you open a new acct for your wife and now will begin using it? Believe, since we are owners, my account should be gold???

I have one and recently opened one for my wife. We also got a Marriott rewards Chase CC for her with intents on canceling mine once she's upgraded. I did some investigation with Marriott and determined that it was they will only list one rewards number and that the "upgrade" occurs once per year early in the year. It is my intent to use her number as much as possible once she's at Platinum. I wish I'd anticipated this area better over the years and used her's more but I was unaware of the lifetime status until a few years ago and I don't think MVC stays counted until a few years ago IIRC. Even after I knew about the program, the requirements were higher than they are now so I didn't think I'd be here this soon. It's possible you've missed it for this year but you could change the number on the account and hope you will be upgraded this year or you could wait until later in the year in preparation for next year. I guess you could change it then change it back in a few months if not upgraded then change it again later in the year though I'd check to see if that is indeed possible. I figure it'll take a few years to get her to Gold or Platinum Lifetime. This became more of an issue recently when she traveled without me. I had presumed the perks would go with the reservation rather than the person but since I wasn't there, the perks did not apply. So it became more important to do this.What exactly did you do?

Yes, and status change decreases are not effective until either March 1 or February 1 (I do not remember exactly which one).I basically don't bother looking at the site until February to see where I really stand. Too many changes and uncertainties so early in the year.
