I know a lot of people probably can't understand why we got it (including us), since my husband does not have one single paid night this year so he rolled over nothing (and I sincerely doubt 300 lifetime nights scratches the surface), but don't shoot me we didn't ask for it...
Anyway, he got an e-mail saying "Congratulations! You're Marriott Bonvoy Lifetime Gold Elite" and the body of the e-mail started "Lifetime Gold Elite - Now and Forever" and went on to describe the benefits, etc.
I'm sure it was some sort of glitch so if they claw it back I'll let everyone know.
