Actually my eagle at home pressed on to choose the lounge pass as a safe bet to have a bird in the hand, he still remembers his overnight Radisson devaluation mimicing BitCoin and NFTs


There seem already some unrealistic expectations by some newcomers to IHG-1rewards on this board that AMB should grant access to lounges and breakfast...
Ofcourse that won't happen at all but to stay in the fantasy setting .... or horror Nosferatu ....

it could be as to avoid trample damage of influx into lounges .... the curious IHG corporate eye might wonder to the Delta Airlines solution .... just grant 10 visits max a year to a SkyClub per creditcard holder aka for IHG: implement a max limit of 10 club lounge visits per annual lounge pass , earn more visits if acquiring more milestone night awards ... I would agree that would be time to get the oak stake, holy water, runic mirror and silverbullet out !
