It was called the "Gold Challange." You had to call Customer Sevice and ask for it. If you get 5000 points (not miles) within 90 days, they give you Gold Status until 2-04. It took me awhile to get them to sign me up and then prove I got 5000 points since I only flew 3500 miles (first class- 1 mile = 1.5 points).
