Just received RA (first time).
This is a first post from me, although I have been following the thread closely.
I joined up for Ambassador membership in January 2016 and achieved the following stat's for the year: 75/63/8
I have just checked my card on the IHG app and it has today been changed to RA, valid to 31 December 2017.
The uncertainty has been frustrating, to say the least, but I'm now looking forward to seeing what actual benefits I will receive this month (London, Dubai and Vienna).
