IHG One Rewards members can sign up for a status fast-track with IHG One Rewards through April 30. Any IHG One Rewards member may sign up for the status fast-track; elite status with another program is not required.
Within 90 days of registering for the program, you must stay two nights to qualify for Gold Elite level or five nights to qualify for Platinum Elite status.
A usual requirement for Gold Elite is 20 nights of lodging or 40,000 elite qualifying points. While obtaining 60,000 elite qualifying points or staying 40 nights is normally required to become Platinum Elite.
However, take notice that having either the IHG Rewards Premier Business Credit Card or IHG Rewards Premier Credit Card entitles you to Platinum Elite level as well.
