SPG Gold Preferred Guest becomes Gold Elite in August.

There are more details in my post a few posts above this reply.
From reading at tpg and one miles at a time, it seems that you don't have to earned 50 elite points to convert into Platinum Elite

If you are Marriot Gold due to your linked account with SPG, you will automatically become Marriott Plat Elite August 1st.
