Preferred Hotel Group iPrefer underwent a revamp that
launched on February 12th. They have moved from a three tier system
(Silver, Gold, Platinum) to a two tier system (Insider, Elite). See the
benefits in the chart below. They have also changed the points base
earning rate to 10 points per US$1 spend (used to be 1 point/$) while
the redemption rates have also increased by 10 so essentially the earn
and burn rate remains the same. You can find out more about the changes here. Remember Preferred Hotels iPrefer does status match so give it a try by contacting them at iPrefer@preferredhotels.com and provide proof of your status at another hotel rewards program.
