When I said that I read it would carry on for the next calendar year she said there was a possibility that she couldn't confirm.

Can anyone confirm this? What is the source of this information?

EDIT: ok NOW I see that scubaccr recommended to wait until 2nd October. S%*t! Let's hope for the best..

EDIT 2: this article states that status matches from NOW on will be until Dec 2014. http://loyaltylobby.com/2013/10/01/i...1-2014-update/ It would be nice to get some confirmation from IHG though, I asked it on twitter.
