Yes, I'm wondering too.
I have no status on any airline or hotel. No fancy credit card. The only points I've earned on my HHonors account have been from the quarterly updates.
Yet, I got a letter today instantly upgrading me to Gold status.
Oh well, a nice shiny gold card will gleam in my travel wallet now.
