Just a quick question.
I am planning to use points for a stay in a HI.

Will i get any points for the Food & Beverages i will have during this stay ?

Thanks

Yes, but no stay credit

(But not if you stay at an IC as IC's do not give points on incidentals.)

You'll get regular points but not 2x on a points stay. I had issue recently where PC Customer service told me my $200 meal/drinks on a points stay did not qualify for 2x so I asked for specfics, no answer.... then when I pointed out from the rules in detail that it does not say my spend did not qualify....no response. They just ignored my reply for supporting information totally

Thanks... good to know, since i will be meeting lots of people during my stay and I will have a huge bill!

however.... It is ridiculous not to count double...

Incidental expenses (meals, drinks, telephone, etc.) only receive the double point bonuses when paying a qualifying rate.

As per the T&C's for the current Double Points/Double Miles Promotion:

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Must be a Priority Club® Rewards member and must register member number in advance to participate in this promotion.

Bonus points or miles will be awarded on every qualifying stay, beginning with the second qualifying stay at participating InterContinental®, Crowne Plaza®, Hotel Indigo®, Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn Express® and Express by Holiday Inn™ hotels worldwide between September 15, 2009 and December 15, 2009. .......

Hello,

Despite many nights at IC properties, I used room service for the first time last weekend on a rewards night. No points showed up this morning, as it was a non-qualifying stay. Do the points for incidentals like this show up later or should have they posted today?

Thanks for your help!

There are no points awarded for incidentals at IC (InterContinental) properties...whether paid or award.

Incidentals are awarded points (paid or award) at all other brands ONLY (e.g., HI, HIX, CP, CS, SB).

Thanks soitgoes..... now for the other brands, would the incidental points show up when the reward stay posts, or do they come at a later time?
Thanks so much for your help,

Yes...it will post as a nonqualifying stay, but you will earn points based on spending.

If I were to substitute in the word miles would the answer still be an overwhelming Yes? (except for Intercontinentals...)
