And the referral program was continued. So, yes, the numbers have grown, and I guess with that the exclusivity.
Reading threads in the ICH forum, it doesn't seem hard to earn PC Platinum status from all the promos that has been going on. Earning 60K pts with some of the 10K bonus promos I read about can be had for probably around 10 stays, maybe less. 3 of those stays can be IC. So a quick phone call to the Ambassador desk after the stay and point requirements one can make RA? Sounds too good to be true! HHonors and SPG requires 25 or more to reach top elite. Perhpas a defection from HHonors and SPG is possible!
