I got promoted to Platinum Elite for no reason.

Hi, thanks for all your thoughtful replies.
I never had anything to do with the Marriott Vacation Club, certainly nowhere close to any lifetime status of any kind.
I only stayed a few nights last year, 0 nights this year so far.
Many people like me are holding the Ritz Carlton card and many other Marriott credit cards and I have not heard any unexpected Platinum Elite status like I got.
I guess it is a simple mistake, I don't know how long it will last, neither do I know if this status is usable.
I will try to use it to see what happens.

Is Platinum status obtainable through spending with the Chase Rewards card? Which I guess is now called the Bonvoy Premier card.
