MVC Ownership / Marriott Rewards Status conversions after 8/18/2018

[AlmostRetired]

Day to day things on my account are changing. I was lifetime gold and platinum elite (for the last 7 years). My account showed me as lifetime platinum elite on Monday. It now longer shows a lifetime status. It went away soon after I combined my Starwood account. I am not going to try and figure out the day to day changes. At some point the dust will settle and I am confident it will be right or I can make it right. In the meanwhile since I am platinum elite earned from 2017, it shouldn't impact anything I do until it gets straightened out. Hard to be upset with IT because it is a huge change. It is hard to be upset with Customer Service for not knowing what is going on. Marriott's lack of training for Customer Service in preparation for the transition causes me to scratch my head and is harder for me to be understanding with.

I agree site changes daily without consistency. I am disappointed in the customer service reps. They do not seem to know criteria as well as able to help with reservations.

I have not been able to make reservations or check current reservations. This was an issue this week. I could not remember location of my reservation. Multiple Aloft locations in same city. I needed to call locations to determine correct site. No help from Marriott. Normally I check app for address.

Does anyone know the status of a mere week owner? I have gold from previous years just by sheer number of stays. Didn’t know the program crossed over to MVC Ownership.

Prior 08/18/18: Platinum Elite because of MVCI ownership AND Lifetime Gold, two+ years more to get Lifetime Platinum Elite.
On 08/18/18: On the Marriott iPhone app under My Account it says Platinum Premier Elite. On the next My Account page under Lifetime Status it says Lifetime Platinum Elite. On the Marriott website is says Platinum Premier Elite with an infinity sign.
Apparently the dust is still settling...

Why? MVCI ownership is not lifetime. Your status is correctly Platinum Premier. Just like the app and Marriott website says. Lifetime status is a different status and is not necessarily the same. Why do you think it is wrong, from your description, it's correct. You were mapped from Platinum and Lifetime Gold.

Correct, LT gold in the old system became LT Platinum in the new. DC ownership status is granting the Platinum Premier.

Boom! I just checked this evening and my status how shows Platinum Premier. Earlier today it was just Platinum.

I’d be interested to see how many individuals fall into each category now.

My Platinum Premier Elite status just posted too.

Spoke to the AP customer rep earlier on saying that the status match is valid till 2018 only and no confirmation of what is 2019 and beyond.
Seem like new status level match will be different for those who achieved on and after 18/8/18... Anyone can further verify that?

Interestingly when I was browsing through clause 1.7c in the Marriott Rewards T&Cs; it's missing... don't really know what's inside the content of clause 1.7c...

Praying that they will retain platinum for the old select members...

Yes, I guess it just shows that we need not have worried about this after all and would probably have best not even looked at our accounts in the days immediately after the 18th.
I am sure we all did though - haha.
My wife’s account also changed overnight from Platinum to Platinum Premier.

 

[pedro47]

We are now Platinum Elite good or bad ?

 

[lorenmd]

platinum in SPG has been awesome but it sounds like everyone is platinum of some sort in the new system so maybe won't be so awesome. we like the upgraded rooms and free breakfast

 

[pedro47]

This morning we are now Premier?

 

[PaulaC]

As of last evening, DH was Lifetime Platinum Premier and my account showed Platinum Premier.

Steve, my Platinum Premier Elite (with the infinity symbol) is showing up on the page today as well. Also, when I went down a bit further, my lifetime status was shown...


You are Lifetime Platinum Elite

Maybe I should take a screen print of this page in case it changes tomorrow (or in the future). LOL.

I just combined my MRP and SPG accounts and my lifetime status changed to Platinum. Prior to the combination I only had 595 nights and 7 years, so the 3 years I’ve been Platinum and nights in SPG got me to the 10 year threashhold for Platinum.

Update from my previous post on Wednesday (#19). I am now officially Platinum Premier Elite!

 

[GaryDouglas]

Correct, LT gold in the old system became LT Platinum in the new. DC ownership status is granting the Platinum Premier.

DC ownership and/or Presidential status?, I being the later. Does that mean that I am Platinum Premier Elite forever, at lease as long as I have my MOC weeks?

 

[jeff76543]

You are Platinum Premier Elite as long as MVC and Marriott do not change their present agreement (we have no way of knowing whether that will happen in the future - and forever is a long time) and as long as your MVC status remains at least Presidential.

 

[GaryDouglas]

Before the end of this year I will qualify for LT Platinum Elite (over 600 nights and 10+ Platinum status). Dose that mean my LT Platinum Elite will go to LT Platinum Premier Elite?

Lifetime Platinum Premier requires 750 nights prior to December 31, 2018. Lifetime PP will not be offered in future years.

Lifetime Platinum Premier requires 750 nights prior to December 31, 2018. Lifetime PP will not be offered in future years.

In addition to 750 Marriott nights, you also need to have earned 2 million points.
