Was to be expected:

- CSU for suite does not come with club access : you just get the physical suite
- complimentary upgrade to a club room does not include access : you just get the club room
* no diamond brekkie at 2 residence properties in Dubai/Qatar
nicolas75 : sorry to read your comment got a beating there, but i will say it again:
commenting on some matters there is usless because some there are oblivious.....
better to let them be oblivious so we can keep IHG/diamond/RA undervalued

escape4 : no worries
CSU = confirmable suite upgrade
as in milestones rewards chosen:
Confirmable Suite Upgrade: Confirmable Suite Upgrades will be applicable for one room upgrade to an entry-level suite or premium room where a suite is not available.

I'm not sure why I would want to choose the Club access benefit? I already get club at all IC's, and apparently at Regent too. And I've always gotten club at the handful of CP's I stay at, such as the CP CPH. Kimpton's do not have clubs AFAIK. So far these milestone benefits seem pretty useless to me. 5K points is not worth very much.

Has anyone any experience with the new Diamond-level program benefits (especially breakfast) in Canada and France? I have awards stays booked at the Vancouver Downtown HI and Paris Opera - Grand Blvds in October. Thanks.

My last stay at IC Berlin I was offered breakfast as Diamond, then as RA it is automatic and as I already had Club suite booked they didn’t know what to say lol
It seems most hotels are good with offering breakfast for Diamonds for up to two in same room, for further guests it’s up to check in agent and hotel policy

Proactively offered breakfast as Diamond.
I was very pleased to be offered breakfast at two Intercontinental stays this summer - in late June in Toronto and in early July in Chicago. Both buffets were very good, with the Chicago location including Eggs Benedict as well as lox each day. These were both points stays.

Diamond 2024 re-qualification question
Hi there,
Got qualified as Diamond prior to the April deadline, so my status is valid til 31/12/2023.
If I reach the 120k points in 2022, would those count towards 2024 renewal? or those are basically useless points for Diamond qualification purposes?
Thank you for your inputs!

Does anyone know whether free breakfast as Diamond at Intercontinental is also applicable when on reward night?
