Old Marriott Gold perks after SPG/Marriott account merger
score:3
Accepted answer
So while I suspect Hilmar's answer is correct on paper, as ever reality is a wee bit more complicated. I tested showing my old Marriott Gold Elite card ("Valid thru 02/2019") at two hotels in New Orleans, around 1 month after the new system was supposed to kick in in mid-August, and asked if old Gold benefits still applied after the merger:
- JW Marriott: Was aware of the change, but said their systems have not been updated yet, so my card will still work for lounge access and I'm welcome to use it.
- Renaissance French Quarter: Did not seem aware/concerned with the change, has no lounge but happily gave me food vouchers for breakfast instead.
So practical success rate 100% (N=2). This will likely change, but I'll enjoy it while I can!

I think you got the short end of the stick here. All Marriott Golds were upgraded to Platinum in August (at least until the end of the year) EXCEPT if you had Gold as a comp from SPG.
