HOW I WILL ACHIEVE IHG DIAMOND ELITE STATUS

IHG is my preferred hotel chain and my preferred credit card to use. I will try to achieve IHG Diamond Elite status this year. Watch the video to find out how.
Many RUclipsrs talk about achieving Marriott Platinum/Titanium status or Hyatt Globalist status either my having one or more credit cards and staying a certain number of nights every year. This video is not that.

*Around the 5:35 mark, I said $40,000, but I meant to say $30,000.
All of my travels will use my OWN money, OWN points, and OWN miles. I do not use points/miles/money earned from any referrals. I have zero referrals. I also do not use any so-called "player 2" cards.
I will not have any of the following in the description or in any of my videos:
1) No credit card referral links;
2) No sponsorships;
3) No referencing credit card management applications;
4) No recommendations of any shopping portals where I receive a kickback;
5) No funny or confused faces in the thumbnail of my video; and
6) No asking anyone to like and subscribe to my videos, although I hope that you do so.

I won't lie, I am NOT a fan of Kimpton beds BUT. I've always gotten atleast a 1 category upgrade at everyone I been to as platinum in the 2 times I went. One in charlotte and one in Georgia. Was more then I ever got at as a Platinum in Marriott.

Haha, I am not a fan of Kimpton in general. The design seems to be very non-functional for me. I do not remember the beds. But glad for you to get upgraded more often than not. The same goes for me. I almost always get upgraded as an IHG platinum member overseas.
