question for those who have earned marriott lifetime plat status - i was at 8 years as plat and 600+ nights in the beginning of this yr, so i basically needed 2 more yrs as plat to earn lifetime plat status. i was able to enroll in plat fast track promo (15 nights in 3 months to get promo-ed to plat) few months ago and reached plat status in last june (a month ago). i saw that my lifetime status tracker on the app got immediately updated to 9 yrs as plat status. Continued in comment

Unless the fast-track promo has a limited duration of being Platinum, you should be good. I've seen some promos grant you temporary status for x months, but still require you to earn it for the following year.

Generally speaking, the Marriott years calculations have been wonky since the SPG merger; I have more years at Platinum than I've been a member.

If not, just get the Amex card - those years count.

does this mean, i will automatically get lifetime plat at beginning of next yr, as i believe my plat status that i earned this yr would get extended into next calendar year as well? thanks in advance!

No. You need to earn it next year too.
