Thank you for the interesting datapoints.
A nice perspective in figures showing that extra (non accomodation) expenditures do mean something to IHG-corporate to consider RA.
Or they still want you as the living figure head and example of a low maintenance satisfied customer,
Same as IC AMS considers me part of the furniture....
But first of all : congratulations with RA!
When are we going to suss it out at the bar together like the good ol' times of the Dorrius Bar at ex-Crown Plaza Amsterdam to celebrate.....
(especially for you in Dutch:

Oops i made a faux-pas, we need to put the newly acquired InnerCircle status to good use at the Kimpton in London.
You are now also part of the happy few InnerCircle, shall i call Tatler to get our group celebration photoshoot?
Inner Circle means excellent service,
provided you email the Kimpton in advance with your wishes/needs, ask and they will answer/provide/driveyounuts/delight.
It seems though that the Kimptons owned/fresh/new by IHG themselves are more willing to engrace themselves on your good side.
The original Kimptons can be good too but there seem some variance ..... read how they all interpret the "secret password" ....
