Elite status extension

Last year, IHG announced that it would automatically extend all elite status levels through January 2022 — regardless of how many nights you completed in 2020. This was similar to Hilton and Hyatt’s previously announced moves and is slightly more generous than Marriott’s announcement. It even includes extensions for members who earned status via a status match.

This means elite members have a full additional year to enjoy benefits like complimentary room upgrades and late checkout. For Spire Elite members, this includes the choice benefit of 25,000 bonus points or gifting of Platinum Elite status to someone each year. InterContinental Royal Ambassador and Kimpton Inner Circle members will maintain their memberships in the invite-only programmes.


checked my account, but no sign of any change to the status expiry date of 1/9/21

Anybody else any different?

Although no reference to Status expiry as she’s dropped down to club,
But no email for mine!

Has anybody received any Status extension, referred to in the article linked above?

My Spire Ambassador status still shows same expiry, but I now have the option to renew ambassador for points/ cash.

Just wondering whether to wait for an automatic extension rather than burn points unnecessarily!

I'm not sure in the web site where to see the Spire Expiry, but in the App, click on the 2021 Track To Elite Status, and see what it says

I can see where it is, I’m just wondering whether they will be offering a free status extension as per the article from “The Points Guy”

To view the expiry of your Spire élite membership, click your name at the upper right corner, then click "2021 Track to Elite Status," then go to the bottom of the page for "Elite Status Expiration." I would be interested to know if your Spire élite status is extended till 31DEC2022.
