Thanks RAPC, I tended to read and glean information - and keep my opinions to myself. I guess I am coming "out of my shell" since in the past month I have written 4 letters to the editor of local newspapers and magazines, posted noticably on other forums, and now am starting here.
If there was any sarcasm intended in your reply, I am simply ignoing it

Absolutely no sarcasm at all I promise. Just nice to see another person joining in with posting, especially when you've been a member for years. Great to have you on board.

So this is interesting...
Last year I was gold and qualified for Platinum in December for the first time ever. However, I just tried out the link and put in my SPG number and while I did not qualify, at the top right of the page that tells me I did not qualify, it says I am SPG Gold, when in fact I am Platinum. Even the SPG homepage says I am Platinum.
Maybe their database for this promotion has just not updated itself yet. I got the gift last year as I was gold and since the database still thinks I am gold, that is probably a good reason I am not getting it.

Even after requalification for this year, the link did not work at first but did so a couple of weeks later. So it's definitely worthwhile to try it again:
