IHG has had three loyalty and guest recognition programs for years: IHG One Rewards, InterContinental Ambassador (paid), and Inner Circle (Kimpton). Previously, Kimpton had its Karma, which was folded into the chainwide loyalty offering.
The invitation-only Royal Ambassador level has had variable qualification and requalification requirements throughout the years, from never-ending referral certs (even referred members used to get another referral) to merely visiting three ICs and a set number of total IHG nights to the current undisclosed revenue requirement.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on LoyaltyLobby.
