IHGがプラチナorダイヤモンド会員へのステータスチャレンジを開始！

他のホテルチェーン会員からIHGプラチナorダイヤモンド会員へのステータスチャレンジが2022年7月末まで行われます。申請より120日間プラチナ会員となり、この期間に5泊でプラチナステータス、15泊でダイヤモンドステータスが2023年12月まで有効となります。ステータスチャレンジキャンペーンについてまとめました。

ステータスマッチとは？

「ステータスマッチ」とは、

あるプログラム（航空会社のマイレージプログラム、ホテルのポイントプログラムなど）の上級会員資格を所持している場合、他の航空会社やホテルグループの会員制度の上級会員資格を条件なしに獲得できる

という制度です。 本来は数多くのフライトや宿泊が必要な上級会員のステータスを無条件で得られる大変お得な制度です。

私は以前マリオットプラチナからヒルトンダイヤモンド会員へのステータスマッチを行い成功したことがあります。詳細については以下の記事をご参照下さい。

IHGステータスチャレンジの概要

今回のIHGのステータスマッチキャンペーンの内容につき簡単にまとめます。

申請期間は2022年7月31日まで

申請から120日の間に既定の宿泊数をクリアする必要があるので計画的にプロモーションに登録しましょう。

The Promotion registration period begins on May 18, 2022 and ends on July 31, 2022 (“Promotion Registration Period”).

登録すると自動的にプラチナ会員へ

プロモーションへの登録が完了すると、会員は自動的にIHG One Rewardsプラチナエリート会員にアップグレードされ、関連する特典を利用できるようになります。

ということは申請時にステータスマッチ元の会員レベルを証明するものも不要で、審査もないということなんでしょうね。

Once a member registers for the Promotion, the member will automatically be upgraded to IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status and can start enjoying the associated benefits.

プラチナエリート会員は申請後120日間有効

上述のようにステータスマッチ申請後自動的にプラチナ会員となりますが、申請後120日間有効となります。

A member’s upgrade to Platinum Elite status through this Promotion will remain in effect for the 120-day period immediately following their registration.

5泊でプラチナエリート会員、15泊でダイヤモンドエリート会員を2023年12月まで維持可能

申請後120日間で5泊すれば2023年12月までプラチナエリート会員資格を維持できます。

また申請後120日で15泊すれば2023年12月までダイヤモンドエリート会員資格を維持できます。

 A member, however, can keep their IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status, or even elevate themselves to Diamond Elite status, through the end of December 2023 by having a certain number of qualifying night stays during their 120-day post-registration period (the “Stay Period”). Specifically, a member with five (5) qualifying nights during their Stay Period will keep their IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status through the end of December 2023, and if the member stays an additional ten (10) qualifying nights (for a total of fifteen (15) qualifying nights) within their 120-day Stay Period, they will earn IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite status through the end of December 2023. Because this 120-day “Stay Period” follows a member’s registration for the Promotion, each member who registers will have their own Stay Period.

30米ドル/泊以上の支払いが必要なことに注意

30米ドル/泊以上がなければ対象の滞在にならないことに注意が必要です。特に最近は円安傾向ですし、自治体割などで宿泊する場合には注意を要すると思われます。

A “Qualifying Stay” is a minimum one (1)-night stay booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night.

IHGステータスチャレンジキャンペーン規約

今回のIHGステータスチャレンジキャンペーンの規約を引用しておきます。

To participate in the IHG One Rewards “Status Challenge” promotion (“Promotion”), an individual must be an IHG One Rewards member and must register for the Promotion under their member number. The Promotion registration period begins on May 18, 2022 and ends on July 31, 2022 (“Promotion Registration Period”). Once a member registers for the Promotion, the member will automatically be upgraded to IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status and can start enjoying the associated benefits. This Promotion is not available to members who reside in Greater China.

A member’s upgrade to Platinum Elite status through this Promotion will remain in effect for the 120-day period immediately following their registration. A member, however, can keep their IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status, or even elevate themselves to Diamond Elite status, through the end of December 2023 by having a certain number of qualifying night stays during their 120-day post-registration period (the “Stay Period”). Specifically, a member with five (5) qualifying nights during their Stay Period will keep their IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status through the end of December 2023, and if the member stays an additional ten (10) qualifying nights (for a total of fifteen (15) qualifying nights) within their 120-day Stay Period, they will earn IHG One Rewards Diamond Elite status through the end of December 2023. Because this 120-day “Stay Period” follows a member’s registration for the Promotion, each member who registers will have their own Stay Period. By way of example, a member who registers on June 20, 2022 will have a 120-day Stay Period beginning on the date of registration (June 20, 2022) and ending on October 18 , 2022 to complete their five (5) qualifying nights and keep Platinum Elite status, or their ten (10) additional (15 in total) qualifying nights to achieve Diamond Elite status, through the end of December 2023. The standard requirements for achieving various levels of Elite status under the new IHG One Rewards program, which would apply once any Platinum Elite or Diamond Elite status awarded under this special Promotion expires, are included in the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions, which can be found at here.

To be a qualifying night under this Promotion, the room night must be part of a Qualifying Stay. Only those qualifying nights falling within the member’s Stay Period are counted for purposes of the Promotion. Room nights prior to registration or outside of a member’s Stay Period are not included. A “Qualifying Stay” is a minimum one (1)-night stay booked under a Qualifying Rate, with total spend exceeding US $30 (or local currency equivalent) for each night. Bookings made through on-line travel agencies or other reservation sites such as booking.com or expedia.com are not eligible for this Promotion. For additional details on Qualifying Rates, please see the full IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions. If more than one member checks into the same room, only one member is eligible to count the room nights towards the Promotion (for those nights that qualify). If a member books more than one room on the same night, the member will only receive credit for qualifying nights for one room.

Registration for this Promotion may require the input of information relating to a member’s affiliation with other hotel loyalty programs. IHG reserves the right to verify any representations made as to participation and status in such programs.

This Promotion and IHG One Rewards membership are subject to the terms and conditions of the IHG® Rewards program and/or the IHG One Rewards program, as may be applicable given the ongoing transition from the IHG Rewards program to the IHG One Rewards program. The terms and conditions for these programs may be found at IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions or by visiting www.ihg.com/onerewards, and are subject to change at any time without notice. IHG expressly reserves the right to remove a member’s points, downgrade their status, or cancel their account if fraudulent use of the Promotion is detected, and any fraudulent activity relating to a member’s account, this Promotion, or restricted rate offerings is subject to the IHG One Rewards Membership Terms and Conditions (as applicable), including any of the identified actions that may be taken in response to such activity. To the extent permitted by applicable law, IHG reserves the right of final interpretation of the Promotion, as well as the right to cancel, terminate, suspend and/or modify the Promotion at any time. Members must make any promotional inquiries by 60 days from the end of the promotional period, which for this purpose is November 29, 2022.

These “General Promotion Terms” shall govern all Offers under this Promotion.
