I mailed and just received reply saying

"I am happy to offer you a conditional upgrade to the Gold Elite level, which will be valid through June 30, 2010; however, an updated membership card will not be processed until the following terms have been met.

In order to maintain this status, you must stay 12 paid nights between March 12, 2010, through June 12, 2010. This is a one-time offer, and these dates cannot be changed."

But as I log into my account right now, it still shows the previous status (Basic level) instead of Gold.

Anyone can help to clarify if I can only be promoted to Gold Elite after completing 12 nights within the required time period, or it is an IMMEDIATE upgrade based on my understanding? Thanks
