56 nights in IHG, 16 of which are IC
An additional 22 nights booked at ICs this year

End of year should land around 90 IHG/40IC nights with about $40k IHG spend/$20k IC spend across 7 IC properties

Think I've got a shot? My fear is that my IHG stays/revenue won't factor in (I was staying in Seattle and Charlotte often, where there's no IC).

Also, does RA status get awarded mid-year or is it always at the end of the calendar year?

Only paid qual rate IC brand (room and F+B) counts. In 2016 and 2017 empirically usd10,000++ spend needed.

No requirement for nn nights or 3 IC's any more. eg 4nights in one IC at usd2500++ would get you RA for 2019

Alas non-IC HI/CP/indigo/etc spend is ignored for RA qualification metic
