Is this a typo/error or a great policy change? Assuming the latter, but keeping the former as a viable option.
That's right, because IHG is willing to give you (for example) club access in IC Paris which costs €140 per night just for taking out a free credit card.
The best you will get from the changes this year is club access, for Spire Elite only, at CP hotels only.
