Received a letter in the mail from Barclay today saying I was upgraded and can expect my new World Elite card in the next few weeks. Pretty much the same thing the pop up said when I logged into my account. Spouse has the card and so far has not received the letter. This is consistent with spouse not receiving the pop-up online either.
I also got the "upgraded to World Elite" letter today. Which is odd since when I go online it shows the regular World level card with a link to the World level T&C's. I'm now officially waiting until I get the new card to speculate further on this. For the record the World Elite has a couple of benefits I could use but don't really need.
Data: CL $12.5k; recent scores 760-780 ish; spend $50k in 10+ months. No other active Barclays cards.
