Hi all. I'm hoping for some advice.
I achieved Velocity Platinum 2 weeks ago and was waiting to activate my complimentary hotel status in the new year. I am currently IHG Gold (requalified for next year) and was planning to select HHonors Diamond as my Platinum perk in 2016.
With this status match now available, would you suggest I select complimentary IHG Platinum in the new year and then match to HHonors? Would the complimentary upgrade from Velocity come through in time to give me proof for the 11th Jan status match to Hilton closing date?
An alternative might be to purchase an upgrade to IHG Platinum now just to be safe. But that seems like a waste of a complimentary status.
Appreciate any suggestions Thanks.
