Can someone share where they heard about the perk of platinum for life if you have platinum with SPG and platinum with Marriott at the time of the merger?

This is laughable. Marriott always disappoints no matter what and consistently shocks with underperformance on basic expectations. I am platinum at both and know Marriott will hose me one way or another. It's their corporate tradition. I heard Starwood employees are going to start demotivational training after the merger completes to ensure consistency standards

What? You're not lifetime at both already?

I in fact have Marriott Platinum for life. I achieved it when I crossed 1,500 lifetime room nights. Surprised the hell out of me too. I started in consulting before Y2K.

It's 750 night + 2MM points. I hit night before points.

I've been PLT for years at both (and current Hyatt Diamond and past Hilton Diamond). And I see very little service level difference between the two. If anything, very slight edge to Marriott.
