I mentioned this on Slick Deals. Earlier in the year, they randomly started upgrading people to Premiere Silver whether or not you qualified. It was based on several factors, apparently. The idea was to show those that could possibly reach the level in the future what they were missing. My upgrade came on May 24th, when I got an email that said the following:

The only thing that I could think that qualified me is that I got a $900 DSLR there the previous year prior to a vacation. I think I ended up spending like $1200 there that year. Nowhere near the $2500 goal for premiere silver.

Ironically enough though, I'll probably hit Premiere Silver this year, because I got a Washer, Dryer, and iPad 2 there, in addition to a ton of games. I'm like $501 away at this point.
