I think this just alienates good customers. Moving the goalposts is not customer friendly.

From their perspective it is pretty clever. I currently put more stays than probably required into the IHG programme to make sure that I am on the safe side. I do my 25 SPG stays, my 28 Hilton stays and the leftover is for IHG. If the treshold were clear, they would get most likely less stays.
