Gone Platinum

[kevin_standlee]

With the help of Cheryl and gigica, who helpfully let me make their room booking at the Crowne Plaza in Denver, I have now reached Platinum status in the Priority Club system (that's the Holiday Inn/IC Hotels Group affinity program). This includes things like a 50% bonus on points (was 10% on Gold status) and complimentary room upgrades (subject to availability, of course) on arrival.

I also find myself one night out of synch with another promotion, though, so I'm contemplating any reason I might have to stay in a Holiday Inn-chain hotel sometime in the next nine days to get that odd extra room night.

If it's worth it, just buy a room night and don't acctually occupy it.

Per the message below, I think you have to check in in order to get the credit, even for a prepaid night. In any event, I have a use for a room night within the next nine days, and while I wasn't originally planning to use it, I can figure out what to do. I guess the question may be whether the HIX Yuba City has any suites to which they can upgrade me.

Just make sure you actually check into the room to get the credit.
