If this is in the US I think that it might be a metaphorical thing done by Marriott (and sometimes Hilton). The policy appears to be to always "welcome back" elite members, even if they've never been to a property before. I can see what they're shooting for, even if it's a bi weird. We can't all be George Clooney.
