Whenever travel companies make these "gestures", it ends up being reported on the internet and everybody else who didn't get the "gesture" ends up complaining. Which is why thresholds are published and generally adhered to. Or specific promos are offered for double status credit, etc.
If you can squeeze in three more nights, I'd do it.
