Lifetime Plat on Marriott - anything more than the same plat benefits/recognition? Do you get recognized differently?

No what you want is Platinum Premier, which is a secret in-year status that kicks in ~125 nights + high spends/etc (full criteria not publicized).

I’m Platinum Premier. Really haven’t seen much difference between plat and plat premier.

I’m losing my SPG ambassador this year 😭 Sounds like Marriott had a similar program. Mine was amazing, knew my family members by name and would send birthday/anniversary presents (all SPG branded of course) and awesome stuff when we were on vacation. Didn’t really need her for the work travel since it was pretty consistent but she took care of any billing issues I had so I didn’t have to deal with it

Nothing really except you don’t lose your status which is nice to be able to go after other chains and know you have status back at Marriott.

Yep. Nothing for LTP but a little more for PPre. I’m PPre

Yea Plat Premier is not really any different. Half of the website doesn’t even display it properly

Gets you Gold United instead of Silver I believe

I have lifetime Plat. I diversify my hotels now and care less about points, and of course LP means you keep Plat at SPG The years I’ve been Plat Premier i didn’t get much more out of it.

How do you get lifetime Platinum?

I believe the thread is incorrect. If PP is top 3%, it must be 3% of Platinum. Not all rewards members. Else math is off.

Only extra benefit of Platinum Premier is United Gold compared to just getting United Silver with Platinum Elite.

Everyone claiming PlatPre gets United Gold is using outdated info. This benefit was removed last year.
Source: Made PlatPre this year and called in to confirm.

Only benefit for PlatPre is a dedicated phone and email customer service line and a pathetic welcome gift which gets shipped out in March

Congrats. Every vacation now you’ll justify why you need to spend a little more to stay at the Marriott property versus any others (when the points run out).

^thats 2017. No bueno for 2018

Seems so...I have fallen to Premier Silver 😭

What sucks is everyone assumes this career hands you median wages on a platter but I’m worse off than I’ve ever been.
