My SPG Lifetime Gold will be mapped to the Lifetime Gold Elite tier of the new program, but 4pm check out guarantee has been enhanced to 2pm late check out subject to availability. Shame as the 4pm guarantee was one of the few (only?) tangible benefits of being Gold IMO.Last edited by KeithMEL; 17 April 2018, 08:46 AM.All opinions shared are my own, and are not necessarily those of my employer or any other organisation of which I'm affiliated to.

Marriott's CMO for Asia Pacific has confirmed (via AUSBT) that Marriott Golds obtained via status match from SPG Gold through linking the 2 programs will be mapped to Platinum Elite in the new program:

If you've only got SPG Gold and have not linked your account to Marriott/Ritz-Carlton Rewards, do so before August! Platinum Elite gets some decent benefits and is broadly equivalent to existing 'entry level' SPG Platinum benefits (including suite upgrades and 4pm checkout).
Soothes the loss of 4pm checkout guarantee for me haha, for a year at least. After that, as I'd really only stay at a W where one exists, this makes me even less inclined to stay with any other Starwood/Marriott property over a cool and interesting boutique hotel.All opinions shared are my own, and are not necessarily those of my employer or any other organisation of which I'm affiliated to.
