I had a very similar experience receiving a rejection email followed by an acceptance email a couple hours later all in the same day for The Taste of Gold promotion.
I accepted the offer for Gold Status 7 days ago, however my online account still isn't showing Gold status yet. I have attempted to follow-up with Marriott twice since then (replying to the email with the offer) however they have gone unresponsive.
Does anyone know how long it takes for the account status to change online after accepting an offer for the Taste of Gold promotion? The email said it should take effect in 24-48 hours.
