IHG has had several programs keeping its member tiers intact during the past two years, from rolling all nights consumed in 2020 to 2021 to extending the tiers already twice.
IHG Rewards has also had lowered qualification requirements for those who wish to qualify for Gold, Platinum, or Spire Elite status. It seems that they plan to keep the lower qualification requirements in place for 2022.

Conclusion
We have been in touch with IHG before publishing this piece with IHG but haven’t been able to confirm if the app is correct. I would imagine that it is.
The IHG tier requirements are not in touch with the minimal benefits they offer compared to Hilton, Hyatt, or Marriott.
