Can you please explain the following to me:

You mention in the below e-mail that Royal Ambassador status is given to the top 1% of Ambassador members based on hotel nights during their Ambasador year. THEN THE VERY NEXT SENTENCE YOU SAY THAT THERE IS NO EXACT NUMBER OF NIGHTS REQUIRED.

Well, which of the above contradictory statements is in fact the case? Either it is given to the top 1% of Ambassador members, in which case there is an exact number (that may possibly change each month or year), or else it is not given to the top 1% of members, in which case it is just a completely arbitrary number that you pull out of a hat possibly?

So which of the above is in fact the case? Is 61 nights per year at Priority Club hotels not in the top 1% of members. Or if you just use Intercontinental stays, is 35 nights at Intercontinentals not in the top 1% of members? If not, please let me know the numbers. If so, please review and renew my Royal Ambassador status so that I can continue on staying at Priority Club/IHG and Intercontinental hotels. Thank you.

I'm having a little trouble understanding what you're saying here so can you please help explain to me?

You mention in the below e-mail that Royal Ambassador status is given to the top 1% of Ambassador members based on the number of Intercontinental properties they have visited and qualifying hotel nights during their Ambassador year. THEN THE VERY NEXT PARAGRAPH YOU SAY THAT THERE IS NO EXACT NUMBER OF NIGHTS REQUIRED.

Well, which of the above contradictory statements is in fact the case? Either it is given to the top 1% of Ambassador members, in which case there is an exact number (that may possibly change each month or year), or else it is not given to the top 1% of members, in which case it is just a completely arbitrary number? There has to be some number and it is completely frustrating as a member to try and meet goals that one does not know what they are. For instance you state:

"May we suggest to increase your stays at InterContinental Hotels and Resort prior to your account expiration date on 30 September 2009 in order to hopefully maintain your Royal Ambassador status for another year."

Hopefully maintain? Well I do have several Intercontinental stays that I am planning on making in the next few weeks (already booked reservations in my account). Is that going to be enough for me to maintain and thus have status extended to me again?

So which of the above is in fact the case? Currently, I should have 61 nights this Ambassador year at Priority Club hotels with 4 or 5 stays at Intercontinental properties; is this not in the top 1% of members?

If not, please let me know the numbers. If so, please review and renew my Royal Ambassador status so that I can continue on staying at Priority Club/IHG and Intercontinental hotels.

Thank you very much for your assistance and I await your response,
