One lucky goldpoints plus member just happened to be in the right place at the right time and received an upgrade to Gold Elite and a Bose Sound Dock Digital Music System. The lucky guest was given the special treatment for completing the millionth goldpoints plus stay.

Not everyone can be the millionth person, but goldpoints plus members residing in Europe, Middle East and Africa will receive 10,000 bonus points when redeeming 70,000 points for a subscription to The Economist magazine between Sept. 15 and Oct. 31, 2008.
