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...)

Quote: Westin Premier had this after 5 years at top status. I received this distinction and then Westin joined Marriot as Starwood Preferred and it disappeared.
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.

Details? (Without them, the post is not so helpful.)

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.

Sorry ... it was a joke. Gold is the Hyatt basic level.

Hyatt has Lifetime Diamond - given if you've been Diamond for 10 consecutive years and have earned 1,000,000 base points.

OOPS!!! Thanks for the correction. I was reading something on the Marriot and must not have gotten out of the "Marriot mode"!

Quote: Starwood offers lifetime Gold or Platinum to anyone who buys a SVO timeshare. Which level you get depends on how much you buy.
Actually, you get the status in conjunction with owning the timeshare property. If you sell it, lapse on maintenance fees, etc., you don't keep the status. So it's not truly "lifetime" status, just a companion benefit.
