I received an offer via e-mail message moments ago with which I could get Diamond Elite status for 2026 when purchasing points with IHG One Rewards — but I do not know whether this offer is targeted to me and select other members of IHG One Rewards as “intended recipients”.

Final Boarding Call
Last year, I paid $768.00 to have Diamond elite status with IHG One Rewards — and doing so turned out to be a good move, as it benefitted me in the form of upgrades and complimentary breakfasts; so I wanted you to know about this offer in case you were interested and are able to participate in it…
…and if you do not qualify for this offer, please accept my apologies, as I usually do not post articles pertaining to targeted offers…
