Yeah
Recieved an e-mail from one of their CR flunkies to that effect. Strange thing is they would comp status from just about every other program (Marriot, Hilton, Hyatt et all).
I can understand not status matching if you have only achieved PC Plat status in a few stays with bonus points and so forth but I can document 75 stays at IC brand hotels (mostly Intercons and CP's) this year.
This is approx US$50K worth of revenue and 3 times what they need to qualify you as SPG plat so I fiqure I should try to talk to someone who can see the value involved in getting me across and has the authority to make it happen.
If not I will stick with PC.
