Unintended generosity for sure, I think the rules are not enforced by the IT, so I would call it a glitch.
Anyway, as long as it works enjoy, you also get three gifts from the goodies bag... lucky you!
Your status runs 3 months beyond your qualification year, to give them time to make and send a new card. In that period you have the status of the prior year. This also shows online. It is not a specific SK thing, JL has it as well. So does Marriott, Hilton and IHG in the hotel world, though only two months.
