Nice work compiling the various voices advocating for IHG lifetime status. I would also like to see this as I consider coming full circle with IHG.
IHG was my primary program when I was younger and single as I didn't care much for "free" breakfast. But now breakfast is important to me and I can see myself going back to IHG. Adding lifetime status will be an inducement for me to make IHG my #2 program (after Hyatt). And for reference - I'm 70% to Lifetime PL with Marriott, 10% to Lifetime Globalist wtih Hyatt and 10% to Lifetime Diamond with Hilton.
