Lifetime status in MR program with DC enrollment?

[m61376]

i know Executive level members were awarded Gold status and I believe Chairman level Patinum in the old MR program. In another thread about a post 2010 enrollment offer the OP stated that Executive level owners before August would become lifetime Platinum Elite. Anyone else hear this? I was wondering what changes, if any, to award level would happen as the newly combined MR program rolls out and the reward levels change. Would the ownership level conferred with the DP enrolled owner program share the same Gold to Platinum status level increase?

As far as I am aware from Marriott, no information has been officially provided. Therefore, these are just best guesses. They may well be true, but, Marriott has the final say and strategy they want to pursue.

It's also not lifetime per se, it's lifetime as long as you maintain your ownership level. i.e., sell some stuff and go down in MVCI ownership level, and, you go down in status as well. Unless they decide to change that. But that's the way it is now. Not the same as lifetime, where, if you sold everything, you still have the status.
