Do not fret if one thinks that everyone is causing trample damage swooping over to IHG to acquire Diamond.
The consensus is that it is still not aspirational enough...........

One can only aspire to luxury at Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt and utilises luxury benefits via virtuoso and prefered TA bookings,
So IHG will still fly under the radar as there is nothing to see here folks

For those tormented by the problem by trying to acquire the 20% creditcard discount

The OMAAT comments, list the same problem but one commenter reached out to IHG with the problem and their reply:
" IHG's IT is temperamental, it is a glitch, try back after 24 hours as we are attempting to fixing the problem" .

So good luck everyone !
But patient but hopefully it will be resolved soon
