I suspect it's a "Bug as a Feature." People get the birthday night email every year until something changes and then they no longer get it after that.

Targeted promotion to add an elite night credit? Targeted to generate what?

This reads more like a Bonvoy talking point that is designed to cover for faulty IT.

Exactly.

It could be integration pains, but yeah, it looks more like an IT glitch that won’t get fixed.

For those interested, passing along Lurker's update after they reviewed the email I quoted above:

"Thank you for your patience while we are looking into this issue with the appropriate team.

We have received a reply. The team advised that they would review how to proceed with Birthday as a promotion. In the interim, members can call customer support to check if they are eligible to receive the elite night credit.

If you need any further assistance, please let us know."
