Veteran badge awards? o.O
Hey, someone just threw 4000$ into my car when I wasnt looking. Guess I better shout out and see if anyone lost it (instead of keeping it and driving away)

You sure your account wasn't actually active during that time? They haven't changed how the system works, so either you got a lucky-bug or you paid for unused time

Isn't that a pretty common bug, actually? Sometimes people get truckloads of vet rewards. A buddy of mine got six years worth of vet rewards after playing only two years.
So yes, it's a bug, one that the devs don't seem too inclined to fix at this point, so consider yourself lucky.
they did a fix a little while back to take care of people (like me) who weren't being awarded their vet badges in a timely manner and the fix ended up over-rewarding some folks, I think by awarding badges for time paid rather than time played. I know I got an extra badge I "shouldn't" have, although I just took it as a 'sorry!' for the pile that hadn't been awarded correctly.
Maybe you got caught up in that wrangle somehow?

I do think it is a bug as a friend of mine had the exact thing happen when she just started her account back up.
Feel lucky that you got the rewards.
I doubt they will go back and take them away.

It was a pretty common bug, just like vet rewards not rewarding on time. Not too long ago they "fixed" the whole system which resulted in quite a few people getting several years of rewards ahead of time.
Huh! Well, I had to ask in case they started doing creation time, as that'd mean I was owed even more rewards. ;D I'll submit a ticket, I guess, I'm too honest. -.- Though hopefully they'll ignore it. =p

So I reactivated after another idle year, and found myself awarded everything up to Addicted (36 months); I DEFINITELY do not have 36 months of active time (more like 15 or something I think). Is this a bug, or did they change vet rewards to length of account creation time, not subscription time?
