IHG Elite Devaluation

A few days ago, Mark described the limitation on the free night certificate, as well as the restriction on the complimentary upgrade benefit.

Disappointing Changes

The most significant changes were made last week.

Club level amenities are not included in the complimentary upgrade to Club rooms, Club REGENT or Club InterContinental rooms.

The same language has been added to confirmable suite upgrade options.

Club level amenities and services are not included in confirmed upgrades to Club rooms, Club REGENT or Club InterContinental rooms.

IHG Elite Devaluation – My Take

I was taken aback by how quickly I hg degraded their program.

It is comical to think that a club room without club access is the same as one without club access.

What I’m (Not) Doing

I am continuing with my plan to get 10k points and a $100 statement credit, even though I was against the 40k big spend bonus.

Conclusion

I can understand if someone chooses to pursue Diamond status through stays or spending.

How do you feel about the recent IHG elite devaluation?
