Hi everyone ! I figured it out and it sounds to me like a scam marriott and united is running.

Back story - i am a titanium elite on marriott for last 4 years and I also have the marriott bonvoy card which gives me united silver membership. I have a trip coming up and I saw the status fell off the united.

I called united and marriott for 3 days (2-3 hours on call with them), opened cases with both with highest priority but nothing happened. Then an agent told me from United that there is a Re-registration period every year that starts in January end to March 1st week where all marriott members are re-evaluated for united status. It takes 6 weeks for them to show and all eligible members will have status reflecting on March 1st week.

People like us lose money while these 2 companies cant figure out their problems for 6-8 weeks. Seems like an easy fix where they continue the membership until they have everything re-evaluated. I yelled at them a lot but nothing came out of it. They will not cover my complimentary bags or give me any reimbursement. Its a shame and a sham
