IHG Rewards Club Spire Elite Greater China Benefits In 2020

IHG Rewards Club Spire Elite members can enjoy richer benefits for stays in Greater China (China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) than elsewhere. IHG has now updated the benefits matrix for the region.

The program has no guaranteed benefits for elite members such as early/late check-out, breakfast, or lounge access beyond 100% base points bonus outside of this area.

Here’s the small print:

Conclusion

Unfortunately, there are minimal confirmable elite benefits for IHG Rewards Club members.

If members care about early/late check-outs, complimentary breakfast, and lounge access, they should look into Marriott Bonvoy, Hilton Honors, Accor ALL, and World of Hyatt programs.
