So I wasn’t watching all the fine print and missed the 750 nights by 10 nights... been platinum for 11 years. I just called to see if they would waive me into titanium lifetime. Pretty upset since I am also presidential in vacation club.

Will wait and see.

I have been awarded a free night due to my status, which has a value of 40,000 its, however, there is no category hotel that is = to this number of points. A Category 5 = 35,000 its and Cat 6 = 50,000. 40,000, can get you a Cat 6 for Off-Peak, but that is not yet introduced.
Are we able to add points 10,000 its and upgrade to a Cat 6 or if we select a Cat 5,, do we get the balance of 5,000 its credited to our Rewards account?

Edited. I edited the post because it had too much whining about lack of customer service support and ownership of my problem.

The problem, my MR account shows no lifetime status and a yearly status of titanium when I should be lifetime platinum. Lack of customer support is the norm or so it seems but what caused me to post was a specific rep named Larry who spent the first 30 minutes telling me I am misinformed of my old status and sees nothing to validate my lifetime status or points. He did see that I had 660 nights but that proved nothing. Larry has been doing this job a long time and he is sure I do not I meet the criteria and I should except this. After 20 minutes of how much work it would be, I finally got him look at my historical data that I have included below.

Everyone should have their Tenure and Lifetime Night-Points sent to them. This is the reason for including it below.

Even after this, he made up reasons to justify I have no status such as I was downgraded from lifetime gold because I didn't stay 50 nights in 2017 ignoring I was yearly platinum that year and 206,17,18 and 19. Telling me pre 8/2018 I didn't have the number of years of 50 nights to be lifetime gold not accepting that this was never a criteria.

He is sending this to an expert and once this is done, I should except the outcome. My next step is calling David Flueck's office.


Question added.....was the infinity sign on our picture a symbol for lifetime status and does anyone have a lifetime status showing in the detail nights screen?

I ask because my symbol is not there anymore and my lifetime status in the detail is blank.

Here are the reports

Wow! Think I know someone else like this ... ;)

Seriously, that would be frustrating. Oddly enough, the last few months when I have run into problems with my Marriott Rewards account I call Starwood's number. They answer and are more helpful. Most of the time with Marriott I am stuck on hold and they never come to the phone. If Marriott help line ever does come on the phone they are no help. This all started after the merger. I am lifetime Titanium thru a LOT of hotel stays over the years, and timeshare exchanges also.

I missed obtaining Lifetime Titanium by 41 days. So I guess you could put me in the category of not being a fan of the new bonvoy system. I will miss the carry over days, I will miss the perk of Silver Class on United which included 70 lb weight on bags and automatic upgrades on flights - space available (first class from the cheap seats out of SFO yesterday).
I will most likely qualify for titanium again this year (57 days already) but will have to find 16 days to replace the carryover I will be losing from last year. Two more II Marriott getaways should do it.

On the other hand... if that's all I have to complain about... then life is good. :whooopie:

Ed, I am Lifetime Platinum Elite (not PP) and I checked my United Mileage Plus and I still have Silver status there. Not that its a big deal as I rarely fly United but not sure why your Silver status would have lapsed?

The current website advises
“Titanium Elite and Ambassador Elite members enjoy complimentary United MileagePlus Premier® Silver Status”
(the Platinum benefits link no longer shows this)
