Status lasts through the end of the following year after you earn it.
I am not sure about churning, but I would bet my bottom dollar they will kibosh this card because they have their Costco deal now. I'll be cancelling mine shortly in the hopes I can re-apply before it disappears. My points came in real handy for a US-based hotel, considering the really bad exchange rate...

I don't think Capital One is cancelling the Priority Club card, but they are changing it to the IHG Rewards Club World MasterCard. I just got it and received a letter informing me of the change last week.

I applied and got the World card in mid-Aug, and put on a small spend. The points and Platinum status hasn't shown up on my IHG account. I called today to ask when the points and status will be updated. They said they see the points are pending transfer, and it can take 60 days. There is nothing they can do, and if in 60 days I don't get the points and status, call back, then they can look into it.
60 days, that's unacceptable.

Same experiences here and on RFD reports
My 8/14 statement only had $120 fee, 0 IHG points earned
My 8/18 1st spending will show next statement, as well as 60K points (already displayed ONLINE at Cap1 website, but not into IHG yet)
I guess my 9/14 statement will show the transfer

I was looking at the Capital One Canada website and indeed the IHG Mastercard is missing. I don't get it, I got a letter saying that my card would be changing in design and that I should get it soon. Why would they redesign the card and go through all this trouble to then cancel it a few weeks later. Something is strange.
Update: I just contacted Capital One and they will no longer be associated with IHG!
