Exact wording of the email:

Dear demue,

As a valued traveller of XYZ Corporation we’d like to extend a special invite to you. Business travel is always made better with choices, and we’re giving you two amazing options to choose from. - Earn double points on all stays up to 20,000 points OR
- Fast track to Gold Elite in 2 nights (usually 10), or Platinum Elite in 5 nights (usually 40) Register today and stay for business or leisure from now to 30 November to earn even more bonus points, or Elite status faster. A lot faster.

From the T&Cs which seem to be slightly different. YMMV
