Not sure what to think today. A while back they gave me lifetime Diamond. They don't actually call it that, but just has no end date.

I had some alternative vacations this year and IHG stays were just a few, about 20 nights, 18 at Intercon in Boston, DC, Dubai, Melbourne (Aust) IC spend was only 8.5K, and 1.5K in Hobart at CP property, about 10K total.

I had no expectation of auto renewing RA, but as I didn't receive until end of Feb in '23, and March 22, in 2024, I wrote an email to a member of the board, mentioning I'd lost five months of RA benefits over the past two years. I had a contact on the board who resigned during the year, so reached out to her replacement. I didn't receive any response, so don't know if she received it, they usually forward to exec liaison to execute.

I have no account activity showing anything, still has Diamond RA. Maybe they make amendments on Jan 2?

do others that haven't been renewed still show RA?

IIRC in previous years, it always showed renewal or downgrade to ambassador on Jan 1. In my case the past two years, and they've manually adjusted.
