I picked up the IHG credit card from Chase recently so I
could get a free night and top tier Platinum status for a $49 annual fee. There are also bonus points to be collected,
but I won’t spend anything on it later because the earn rate is pathetic. I liked this plan and shared it with
friends.

This morning I read an email from IHG announcing changes to
the program. I will no longer have top
level status because “beginning in July, we’ll introduce a brand-new membership
level for our members who stay with us the most.” This is immensely frustrating because I was
paying $49 to be on the top level. I’ll
keep the card for the free night and, soon, midrange status, but I’ll less
likely to recommend it to anyone. Also
points will expire after 12 months of inactivity. If this is a worry, sign up for the IHG dinning points program and you’ll be fine.
