(HT: Doctor of Credit)
Probably still a bad deal. On a cents per point basis
Dud properties
IHG has become vastly overpriced especially on redemption
I think they forgot that they have no elite benefits that are meaningful
No breakfast no suite upgrades and Inter Cons for Plats or Spire
Destination fees resort fees and nickel and dime
And hesitant late check out except for Ambassadors in IC
I’ll take Hyatt Marriott SPG and even Hilton which also doesn’t guarantee late checkout but has a superior program for its members with breakfast even for mid tier of some kind
IHG is virtually out IMHO a waste of time and money except in rare instances
that’s very good for business in New York City.
