Yes they do and I have lots of IHG points but I still cannot justify spending 105,000 IHG points for 3 nights in Newcastle when I can use the same points for 10+ nights in Chiang Mai and that is a really nice Holiday Inn. They upgrade me to a suite each time. Wish they would throw in Executive Lounge access as well. Some of the best views in Chiang Mai.

And I, for one, would have looked forward to meeting you too! But don't despair. It's an annual event. You can read about its history in post 7 of this thread. There's always 2018!

I must read here more often.
I've only been to Newcastle once when I departed on a cruise ship from there.
