Since I'm not from the US I'm not entirely familiar with the upgrade culture. Was I just lucky or was this maybe something like a preferred welcome gift?

I'm just curious

Thanks!
If they were low on cars that may have been the closest match available. Or if you're a Preferred Plus member she was giving an extra upgrade. Maybe she just liked your accent.
