IHG One Rewards Elite Benefits Matrix:
IHG One Rewards went through a refresh last year, and Spire Elite was renamed Diamond.

Conclusion
IHG had an open Diamond fast track in late 2022, but this one is targeted, and the selection criteria are unclear. You can see if your account is eligible by trying to register.
The program refresh made IHG’s loyalty program more competitive with Accor, Hilton, Hyatt, and Marriott. You must have the Diamond status and 40 qualifying nights to get the full benefits.
Terms and conditions of this offer:
To participate in the “Just for you: Private Diamond Offer” promotional offer (the “Offer”), you must be an IHG One Rewards member and must be invited to participate in the Offer. After receiving an invitation, you must register your member number in advance in order to be eligible for the Offer. The Promotion period begins on 15th February 2023 and ends on 31st March 2023 (the “Promotion Period”). Once a member registers for the Promotion, the member will be able earn IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status, and start enjoying the associated benefits, by staying just eight (8) qualifying nights at participating IHG® Hotels & Resorts during the Promotion Period.
To be a qualifying night under the Promotion, the room night must be part of a Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay and must fall within the Promotion Period. Completed stays prior to registration or outside of the Promotion Period are not included. By way of example, a member who registers for the Promotion on 16th of February 2023 and has a Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay at a participating hotel with a check-in date of 13th February 2023 and check-out date of 18th February 2023 will be credited with three (3) qualifying nights, for the 15th, 16th and 17th of February. The member will not receive credit for 13th or 14th of February because those nights were prior to the Promotion Period.
For purposes of this Promotion, a Promotion Eligible Qualifying Stay is defined as a minimum one (1) night stay at a participating hotel booked under a Qualifying Rate, with a room rate exceeding $30 USD (or local equivalent) for each night. Participating hotels include all IHG® Hotels & Resorts and Mr and Mrs Smith Properties, with the exception of Iberostar Beachfront Resorts and those Six Senses® Hotels, Resorts & Spas that do not participate in IHG One Rewards.

If more than one member checks into the same room, only one member is eligible to count the room nights towards the Promotion (for those nights that qualify). If a member books more than one room on the same night, the member will only receive credit for qualifying nights for one room.
