Same thing with me. Finished 2014 with 38 nights, so not enough for gold. I also got the "exciting opportunities are coming your way" flyer in the mail. I haven't heard anything, so it will be interesting to see what this is.

Looking at my promotions, the "Taste of Gold" shows up saying:
"The first of your exclusive earning opportunities has arrived. As part of this special group, you’ve been automatically upgraded to enjoy Gold Elite status for three months.
To enjoy your Gold Elite status upgrade for even longer:
Stay* 6 times between April 1 and June 30, 2015
Enjoy Gold Elite status through February 2017
Plus, look for more exclusive opportunities coming your way."
