You'd think they would be clearer - this is a pretty important distinction for most people who had lower stay activity in 2020 as compared to their rolled-forward status.

Based on the example below, it seems like they are basing it on your actual 2020 status, not what you would have "earned".

Example:
A Member who earned Gold Elite Status in 2019 already received an extension of the Gold Elite Status to February 1, 2022. To achieve the next tier up of Platinum Elite in 2021 to enjoy through February 2023, the Member will need to achieve a total of 50 Elite Night Credits by December 31, 2021. This Gold Elite Member will receive 13 Elite Night Credits (50% of the 25 normally needed to requalify for Gold), which means the Member will only need 37 Elite Night Credits to achieve Platinum Elite this year.
