11-12K not being sufficient isn't consistent with some of our data points is it? maybe at the margin?
if i was in that position, i'd be reaching out to the other hotel groups now, with current RA in place, with request to status match, and if no joy, ask for challenges.
all the best getting status matched to those that choose that strategy.
or just stay as an Ambassador, with a view to re-qualifying. is there much difference these days, when the changes kick in? the upgrade that can vary according to the the way the wind's blowing on any particular day?
Lifetime RA after say 10 consecutive years, or 15 years accumulative would be good strategy for IHG, re business retention, make more sticky, downgraded RA's staying on to requalify.
