New membership level in the works?

I just got my Intercontinental Ambassador eStatement, and it has a possibly interesting image in it.



The "progress bar" graphic shows my current level (Platinum) marker about 2/3 of the way across, implying that there is an undisclosed level above it. As I typed this, I realized that this is an Intercontinental email and I'm just an "Ambassador", not a "Royal Ambassador", so that could be the level that I'm not seeing (oops!).

If there is a Platinum RA out there who got their July eStatement, what does your "progress bar" look like?

Same. But it still says Ambassador Level: Platinum. I don't get that, but whatever...

My (always out of date) monthly statement also shows a potential next step above platinum (although I'm not ambassador)

One strange thing is that the statement states: Points to maintain:16315

I find this strange as I qualified platinum for 2013 last year, and this year have earned 100,000+ elite qualifying points and 60+ elite qualifying nights, so would assume I've qualified for next year?

I wonder what I need 16315 points to maintain?

Ambassador Status: PLATINUM
Ambassador Until: 31AUG2013



I guess slider bar picture has three values for the 3x Ambassador statuses currently possible.
Text => Textual Ambassador status could show either Gold or Platinum (of course Royals will always be Platinum)
Slider Image => GOLD or PLATINUM or ROYAL

So are all of us who are RA showing this exact same image? That we are just about a few stays away from renewal?

That's what mine looks like. I'm RA and it appears a few more stays are needed. I'm a little freaked since my RA exp 8/31 and it's not yet obvious if I was re-upped.

That's what mine shows as well. Of course, the statement is dated mid-June.

Sorry to bother you guys, could you let me know how to upload an image? The "Insert Image" icon is asking for a URL, but mine is just a screenshot in jpeg.

Thanks!

In flyertalk, you can upload pics to your personal profile, create an album.

That PIC then has a URL (flyertalk.com URL) that you can use in a thread.

That is how I added mine yesterday. there is size limit per photo,and quantity limit, (but u can set photos Public or Private)


My URL ended up being
"//www.flyertalk.com/forum/members/scubaccr-albums-images-picture5707-ihg-member-level-amb-royal.png"
