I can report back an exceptional renewal of my RA status. As suggested here, I wrote an email asking for renewal. I mentioned my RA status since 2001 and how I did not have enough nights since my travels in 2018 took me to places that don't have IC's or any IHG. And I noted that I was writing this email while staying at Le Grand Paris. I sent the email yesterday. So what happened at breakfast this morning? A lady from Guest Relations came up to the Club to announce to me that my status was renewed! That is the type of RA experience that I have loved all these years.
