No other factor has been documented in the last couple of months; people who get to L150 get Elite status, and people who are under L150 and did not get Elite (probybly by error) during the update that brought this new feature to us, do not get Elite status until the morning after reaching L150. I see in this thread that you want to believe, but facts are stubborn –although I concede that faith is at times even more stubborn than facts.
