Across Asia, watch whether dedicated senior ownership is put on it; unowned alliances quietly lapse.
“This gives these card members a head start on earning elevated IHG status and unlocking those milestone rewards I mentioned earlier, and they can accelerate that status even more through spending”
“They're going to unlock a milestone reward as soon as that happens, where they can choose between bonus points, food and beverage rewards, or confirmable speed upgrades”
