TotallyOz Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 I logged into my IHG account today and got this message: Welcome to Spire Elite! A whole new level of benefits is yours to enjoy. Aparently, this is the new level and requires 75 nights a year to reach. That is a lot of nights in their hotels and while it does give you some benefits, the old Platinum level did the same and was less nights to maintain. Until I logged in today, I had enough nights acculumated for the next 3 years as I have over 150 nights available as roll over. Now, this new requirement rolls that back a year to 2 years of nights. I spoke to the hotel I am staying with and was told this does not effect the Ambassador program or their Royal Ambassador clients as that is for those that stay with Intercontinental branded hotels. In the end, I hope this is not just another tier to suck away points and give less to frequent visitors. But, I do feel that every hotel and airline keep offering less and less. Quote

Members TownsendPLocke Posted July 17, 2015 Members Posted July 17, 2015 This is to compete with Hilton's "top"(not really) tier and also SPG's second to top tier. And i hope Hyatt does not get any fancy Ideas about raising the limit on their second to top tier (Diamond) becuse that will leave me without a hotel program of choice Quote
