In reality I doubt this was ever a subject with PC as the status was so easy to retain, anyone staying 10 or so nights could make plat, so platbusting only occurred to those (on this board) who'd stopped staying and hence weren't interested.

In previous years IHG had downgraded my elite status in early January.

I'm not sure what happened this year, but I'm still showing as Platinum. Could it be that I re-qualified somehow? I'm rather shocked given I had so few regular paid stays last year at IHG hotels.
