Update 7/14/19: Deal is back again and valid until July 26, 2019.

Update 6/30/19: Looks like the status matches are posting, but for whatever reason IHG isn’t sending out e-mails. Log into your account to see if you’ve been matched. Hat tip to FM

  • Upon Registration (as defined below), members will be given the opportunity to match a competitor’s hotel loyalty program status.
  • You must register for the promotion between June 17, 2019 – June 30, 2019.
  • By clicking “Match My Status” you are registering for the promotion and agreeing to receive IHG Rewards Club marketing communications and the terms and conditions of the promotion and Privacy Statement.

  • There is no cap for Gold Elite or Platinum Elite. Status match is available only once to each member.

Our Verdict

Unlike previous offers that were restricted to specific companies, this should be available to everybody. Keep in mind they are only granting Spire Elite status to a total of 2,500 members so if you’re interested I’d do this deal ASAP.

Spire status benefits not enough incentive to move hotel stays from other programs.

Which status level? I have the one from the credit card and they always tell me I got an upgraded room, or have upgraded me if I asked. I also booked through IHG.com

When they say for US and UK, does it mean the member must be based in US/UK or the stays must be in US/UK?

I qualified for this which is unusual because I’ve been seeing nothing but rejections for various status matches for months. Marriott Gold got me Platinum.

Part of this is 100% wrong. Limiting the number of Spire level is nuts. Sign up, reach the level and we will see if you get it. Oops… sorry, 2500 others were processed .
before you. Sucka!

EDIT – If they are saying only 2,500 can sign up to WORK TOWARDS the Spire… not so bad. I read it wrong.

Let us know if it changes anything for you once they do. I’m already plat because of chase cards and see no point of bothering reaching spire.
