Would be interested in your estimated usd??++ (ie before taxes spend) qualifying rate spend at IC and non-IC spend ? And from any others that did indeed get RA from the supposed mistake email.

Maybe after applying RA for 2018 to the IC usd10k++ in 2017 Amb/RA guests, Saltlake found RA2018 totals were well below 1% of the Amb pool, and had to have a rethink.

It is surely more beneficial to then give the further RAs to those approaching IC usd10k with substantial other IHG hotel spend, than lowering RA qual to usd9k or less.

Of course this could be a plot by Saltlake to keep us all guessing for 2018, ratherr than bad I.T , lol.
