Wonder if this means IHG are finally closing the unofficial but well known "loophole" wherby some get Spire just once then buy Ambassador each year for usd150 to maintain/renew Spire without qualifying on 75kEQP's or 75nights
Possibly, although I'm not sure there is any connection. Ambassador always gave you Gold membership and for years that was the the second highest level (while Platinum was top). Now that Spire exists perhaps they are just brining it inline with that.
