I just got the email yesterday congratulating me on new Spire Elite status, went to the IHG website, clicked on the benefit links, and the 25K showed up instantly in my account.

No idea if it is a mistake, or if C1 is changing this card's benefit to Spire Elite instead of Platinum. Thus I wanted to see if anyone else is in the same boat.

I actually just cleared out the account and booked some reward nights, and was not planning to continue with IHG... hahaha. Guess I will have to at least re-think that
