Bad IT or some other reason - result is the same: not updating status is a pain.

I’ve been Bonvoyed!
As a 2019 Titanium (2020 Platinum), I still have Trial Silver Elite status with UA, courtesy of Bonvoy.
So this time, in a favorable sense, I’ve been Bonvoyed!

of course that makes no sense at all, but that doesn't seem to matter. Extending 2020 status into 2021 would make some sense, but not 2019 earn into 2020 ... unless I missed something last year ...

Should it be prior year to now or present to future year? It's hard to argue seriously that the Wuhan virus impacted hotel nights/stays during 2019 when IIRC the doctor there first posted in the medical alumni announcements about the illness around December 31st, with some news in early January but the thing blowing up on about January 20th.

With demand almost nonexistent inside China for the foreseeable future, I think it's just a goodwill gesture/marketing gimmick that will not cost MR too much.
