If you can hit 40 nights in a calendar year (and award stays do count toward your night counter) IHG now lets you select an annual lounge pass for your choice benefit at that milestone. IMO, their 2022 program changes were a significant improvement, though they’re still working on getting some properties to properly honor the new status benefits from it. (Some game playing from properties for the free breakfast for Diamond elites in spots)
