First off, SEs are able to gift E50K status for a benefit year. Gifting benefit year E35K is afforded to E75Ks.
If you're referring to selecting your 2020 select privilege benefits for the 2020 benefit year, which includes the option of gifting E50K status... that ship has sailed. If you didn't select your 2020 benefits by now then it was already selected for you.

If you are referring to 2021 benefits, then that thread is here:
2021 AC Status Privileges

We are now able to select our 2021 benefits once you log into your account. You don't need to wait for an email, and AFAIK, I never got an email to do so. It's been like that basically every year where we can go in and select our benefits before (or if any) email gets sent out. AC tends to be super late on sending such emails and we've learned here never to wait for their late emails.

Btw, something I learned here recently... the benefit year is now the same as the calendar year starting for the 2021 benefit year.
