My RA status goes through the end of August. Since 9/1/2010, I have had 52 nights at all IHG brands, with 11 nights at 6 IC's. By the end of this month it will be 59 and 12. The other day, I received a letter stating that I would be given a complimentary Platinum Ambassador but not RA for next year. I expect tht I will be close to 80 and 16 by the end of August, which seems to suffice what others have posted. I travel about 98% in the US/Canada, and in out-of-the-way locations, so many of the places I go do not have IC's, and often not even CP's.
Anyone had a similar experience? While the regular Ambassador is nice, it takes me less than a month to earn Platinum for the following year each year.
