Made 1 additional IC night at a 3rd IC.
RA Renewal Granted without any phone call follow-up.
Renewal mailed about 3 weeks before expiration.

Conclusion:
- You do not need to be in the top 1% of IC stays with the new policy.
- A large number of IHG nights can do it as long as you stayed at 3 different ICs.
My question would be why go to all the effort to get RA if you are only doing 3 IC stays per year? Unless they are loooooong stays, why bother?
