Thank you to you seasoned road warriors for helping out a newbie!
Unfortunately the answer is neither
The 50% status boost promotion applies only towards elite status (eqm)
While the bonuses received for status apply only towards award miles you earn (to pay for award tickets).
So in your example as an MVP gold you would earn 1000 (base) x 50% (promotion bonus) = 1500 eqm
1000 (base) x 100% (MVP Gold bonus) = 2000 award miles
