I have used MVP in the past so think it is closed. Also done another one that I can't recall now. I believe there is a fast track for LG employees that doesn't require a LG email but a) I believe that would be Gold after 4 stays and b) not sure if I am putting my existing points at risk by 'mis-using' multiple fast track?
Again I wonder if anyone has just plain asked Customer Services for a fast track without a status match?
I made gold for the last 2 years based on both nights and money spent. I would also have got it from my UK Visa barclaycard had I needed it. I wrote to customer services and asked if I could do a challenge to reach Diamond. They offered 21 nights in 90 days to me which I accepted. When I checked online, I saw they had also added the option for 11 stays in 90 days (which I confirmed as being correct with customer services) and should reach the 11 stays/Diamond in the next few weeks. It's well worth reaching out to them explaining your situation. Just to clarify, I had no status at any other hotels.
