Turns out, Gold breakfast may be safe. Over at USCardForums, they have uncovered some hidden graphics from the website listing the benefits for the Diamond Reserve Tier. Once of the graphics displays the benefits for all the other tiers, and the F&B Credit/Breakfast benefit still appears for Gold.
With the Gold tier requirements being reduced, I am sure the property owners are going to be thrilled.
I suppose you're talking about this:

But as pointed out there, the graphic says 25 nights for gold and 50 nights for diamond.
I can easily make 30 stays for Diamond, but the reason I haven't bothered to do so this year is that IHG hotels are more convenient and cheaper than the equivalent Hilton and Honors points are close to worthless. Making it 21 stays is not going to encourage me back even if there is no devaluation of existing tier benefits (even ignoring any devaluation from increase in elite numbers).
