Intercontinental Royal Ambassador is lifetime!
If you reached the Royal Ambassador tier with Intercontinental you are RA as long as you pay every year the renewal fee of $100,- and you are gold or platinum member in priority club (this I dont know for shure...)

Of course the Hilton and Starwood "life" membership for timeshare or condo ownerwhip is good only as long as one continues to hold that "investment." Likewise holding the Hilton Amex credit card -- a program that is not guaranteed to run in perpetuity, but which I hold anyway.

[QUOTE=SPN Lifer]That would be Westin and Sheraton. This also points out one of the perils of "lifetime" status. But five years? That's way too easy. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
OOPS!!! Thanks for the correction. I was reading something on the Marriot and must not have gotten out of the "Marriot mode"!
