The policy worked out for me. I managed to re-qualify for 2022 Diamond before the end of July. I already had the stay booked, so I didn't have to plan anything at all. It makes it nice and easy!

Wow, well done! You must be one of the first to qualify for Diamond 2022

I'll likely also qualify for 2022 Diamond nice and easy - by 2056 at the rate I'm going

175 nights | 20698 Status points

Progress to Diamond status

5302 STATUS POINTS LEFT

20698 of 26000

Now I'm confused again.

175 nights means that you are including H1 2020 nights (and Status Points) in your total (either with or without the 30 bonus nights I assume you received during H1 as a current Platinum).

I gathered from some other people who posted in this thread that we cannot qualify for 2022 using H1 + H2 2020 nights even if we obtain 26.000 Status Points (for 2022 Diamond) or 60 Nights (for 2022 Platinum) either including or not including 50% bonus nights (current Platinum) or 50% Status Points (current Diamond) by the end of 2020.

I gathered that H1 2020 Nights and Status Points now count for nothing, and that we effectively start from zero on 1st July 2020 and have 18 months to collect either 60 nights (Platinum) or 26,000 Status Points (Diamond) for 2022 Status.

Is this correct or is @3544quebec just 5,302 Status Points away from Diamond for 2022 providing he or she gets them by 31 December 2020 ? (including or not including the 50% bonus Status Points)

Without knowing 100% sure what his screen shot was, I believe it is showing he is close to Diamond qualification for 2021 not 2022 because as you pointed out, most stays must have been in H1 not H2.

This is different from CanadaDH who has already spent enough in 2020 H2 alone to qualify for Diamond in 2022 (and 2021).

Most of what you are saying is correct, except when you write "I gathered that H1 2020 Nights and Status Points now count for nothing". They count for 2021 qualification but not 2022 qualification. In my situation I have spent enough in 2020 H2 to qualify for Plat in 2022 but my spend in 2020 H1 was not useless: it helped me to qualify for Diamond from August 2020 to December 2021.

Remember that I did qualify my post by saying I would qualify for Diamond by 2056 - and yes escape4's analysis above is correct

escape4

That is so far in the future that I was not sure if you meant the year 2056, or the number of status points remaining

CanadaDH

Wow! 175 nights, and we're only in August? It sounds like you basically live in a hotel!

I'm right around 56,000 status points YTD, and 28 nights. But, that's probably where I will finish 2020, since I don't have any additional vacation time planned until January.

I commenced my 2 weeks self-isolation in March and enjoyed it so much that I forgot to leave. I now qualify for the Monastic Rate hence the low Status Points.

To quote Scripture - it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a Mantra guest to qualify for Diamond Status in ALL

Hello,

If I hit platinum before 31/12/20, will I keep platinum util 21/12/21?

Thanks

leoo

Yes, that happens regardless of the status extension and rollover policy:

I'll also be taking advantage of this rollover to reach Platinum.
I'm currently Gold with 34 status nights (including the 15 bonus nights) and have 32 nights booked until the end of the year, in Brazil.
Great hotel options and prices in Brazil, where I'm spending a couple of months.

I'll be staying in 14 different hotels and I'm looking forward to see how they're dealing with the covid situation, especially breakfast.

..and even that is an understatement...

Actually it still possible.

you will need A$43000 spends for ALL Diamonds which at A$150/night you will reach Diamond at 287 nights

Would be interesting if the member stays at Ibis in asian countries where rate can go down all the way to A$20/ nights
even if they book 3 rooms all the time they need 720 nights to reach Diamond!

testman

There's still time to collect over 120 nights this year, which will be rolled over to 2021. Just 600 nights to collect next year!

By the way, in the summer of 2017, I stayed at an ibis in Poland paying around 15 EUR / night.
I haven't seen such low rates recently, but it's possible to find nights which are around 30 EUR / night.
