Happy.
Just heard back on my CS email: First email came back "In reviewing your account we show that your stays were paid with a Mastercard and not the signature Visa. To qualify for this offer your stays had to be paid with your Visa signature."

Followed up asking where in the T&C (which I had attached to the original email) that stipulation existed, since I actually read the T&C to see if that was a requirement. That elicited the "service gesture" upgrade to meet the original offer. I guess that gets them out of re-bonusing the stays I've had since they knocked me back down to Silver.

My Rez in MSY when I checked in yesterday showed, but my invoice under my door this morning showed Gold.
