That was the old Ritz card before the Marriott/SPG/RC merger.
If you spend $10k, you'll be automatically upgraded to Gold (current Platinum)
If you spend $75k, you'll be upgraded to Platinum (current Titanum)
The $10k and $75k were grandfathered for 2019, but not the actual elite levels.
Then the devaluations of the card(s) and Bonv*y, round and round... And the hard landing in March 2020.
