Questions:
1. If we check in Jan 1 2022 but have paid the trip in December 2021 will that suffice to keep status as I am unsure if the new points get added on to the 2021 points ( and does it double due to the promo) OR
2. should i check in December 30/31 but will end up checking out in 2022, will that count ?
or are we out of luck.
Status points and nights counted 2022 in both questions. No double nights or points unless ALL does not extend the promo. As answered previously, check-out date counts.
Cannot imagine that someone is worried about losing Platinum status and willing to spend 9000 euros to keep it. The only significant difference with Gold is two suite upgrade vouchers and depending the region, lounge access if exsist. I achieved Platinum naturally by nights but I do not value even Gold to purchase it for 90 euros(Ibis Business). If Platinum is so important and there is low comfort/price Ibis near your location, book a room then check-in and check-out when you are done with total of 60 nights including double promo nights.
