HIX Siam is usually more expensive than the other HIX's in Bangkok because of it's location near National Stadium and the BTS there, though it's high floor rooms have nice views and it's bf area has an outdoor area.

Where is the profit in pulling it back? There simply is none, and significant potential new business will be sacrificed by fixing this "error" at a time when companies are legitimately starting to s**t themselves over the looming economic catastrophe that's (barely) being held back by extreme measures (record fast rising US interest rates) ahead of the US midterms.

I just signed up just in case, but Hilton just came out with double points and an EQN promo. It's tempting to divert some of my upcoming Hilton stays to IHG just to see what it's like in the pandemic era. Tough decisions ahead! I wish there is an even easier way to extend this to 2023. Any cheap properties around the world?

If those using this promo (targeted for AMAZON and selected corporate clients) to become Diamond,
are booking only standard non-refundable / flex without the designated corporate code or negotiated corporate rates via TA/channels/reservations/onlineportal
yeah, than it would be clear that the member was not eligable to get the newly Diamond benefits on those bookings,
giving IHG reason to close and shutdown the account and retain the points balance
IHG can be stupid in their IT but they can be ruthless in policing accounts,
remember they closed a lot of Chinese accounts (we all know why) without hesitation,
even though greater China is their focused growth market.....
YMMV
a trip down memory lane:
regular or cowboy or crowned head: IHG shows no mercy to anyone and is strict serious:

https://loyaltylobby.com/2016/03/17/...ccounts-again/
https://viewfromthewing.com/ihg-will...-bonus-offers/
https://loyaltylobby.com/2020/04/20/...h-1-8m-points/
IHG Account Terminated (after registering for several promotion codes)

This fiasco (If that's what this is) is on IHG IT/Marketing.
Who puts out a status update webpage open to anyone? No verbiage on the page stating it is for particular corporate employees.
To make matters worse the page is still up and active. Makes me wonder if this is somehow intentional.

Thank you so much for the clarification! Although not planning to stay with IHG still.

Same here but enrolled. First time I had it was 2015. I was one of the first to act on this, as I'm in Asia. If they pull the plug on the ones who captured this, it will become a PR fiasco.
