Comped GOLD - Flew only 200 SC - Was status matched last year

So I just got an email from Virgin like this:

[TABLE="width: 550"]
[TR]
[TD="width: 20"][/TD]
[TD="width: 510"][TABLE="width: 510"]
[TR]
[TD="width: 510, align: justify"]Dear Mr Congee,

In appreciation of your loyalty and in recognition of being so close to maintaining your Status, we would like to reward you with Velocity Gold membership.

[TABLE="width: 510, align: center"]
[TR]
[TD]You can continue to enjoy these benefits: [/TD]

[/TABLE]

[/TABLE]

Thing is I think I did only 200 SC, but did 2600SC on QF. I was quite prepared to lose my status.

Anyone else get it? Has Virgin renewed all comped flyers as part of a larger business strategy?

Thoughts?
Congee
