I do not consider Priority Club a good benchmark. In fact--I think the program is irrelevant for upscale travelers living in North America.
Would it really make a big difference to anyone in NA if Priority Club and all it's properties simply vanished off the face of the earth.
Hardly.
Who would miss the gazillion Holiday Inns--the bread and butter for this chain?
As for Intercontinental hotels--it's rare that you come across a WOW property. Maybe there are 10 in the world.
From the standpoint of elites--zero recognition of any kind when staying on points. And even for top elites--there is no such thing as free breakfast (unless the property/brand offers all guest that "perk").
