Worst sale ever? £89 for HI Milan Zara&Garibaldi, why?? It's twice the regular rate (mid-December). Oh, maybe there's value in the top tier? Gotta check the £169 Holiday Inn Reading

The sale starts in 72 hours and lasts for 48 hours. Most advertised rates are more expensive than the Advance Saver Rate.

Mmm, not nearly as good as last years flash sale. I got the Amsterdam central for 45euro/night! This year it's nearly double...

Terrible sale, and with the bad taste of the Into the Nights debacle fresh in the mouth I'll pass on anything IHG

It just hit me that the sale is in GBP, not even EUR and GBP like last year!! I just priced out a hotel I stay at frequently. It's $43 cheaper booking a normal advanced purchase rate. The best reponse I can think of is LOL....

In Turin, the rates are the same as they've been showing.

Very disappointed at IHG lately. Used to be a great program, but they are intent on racing to the bottom.

Before griping, please read people. The sale hasn't started yet, which is why you are seeing the rates you're seeing.

"Timing: Bookings for the Offer opens at 00:01 GMT on Thursday 30 October 2014 for Platinum IHG® Rewards Club Members (to book only via the IHG app) and 00:01 GMT on Friday 31 October 2014 for all other IHG® Rewards Club Members. The Offer closes for all members at 23.59 on Saturday 1 November 2014 (“Promotional Period”)."

The link being circulated here is wonky. This link shows that it is counting down to the START of the sale, the sale is not on. http://www.ihg.com/hotels/gb/en/glob...&icdv=99613032

Still, on the link being circulated here it is possible to see which hotel will be selling rooms for how much. The prices aren't good at all.

I am seeing the rates they WILL be charging under the offer. For the hotels I know, these rates are meh at best.

When the sale starts how do you book using the mobile app?

Will the sale rate be listed in the drop down list of rates on the reservation page?

edit to add: i have read the t's and c's and NYE is a blackout date, so i'm sticking with my BPG success at the Radisson which is next door to the HI that i wanted

Strange indeed. Your link doesn't indicate the prices, but the one in the OP does. I wonder if they realize just how ridiculous these rates are and decided to re-evaluate?

The sale is now on.
However I was not able to get it working on the app, but the web site without any additional links shows the sale prices.
This rate is eligible for IHG Rewards club points

The APP is not working, but I found the "FLASH SALE BREAKFAST INCLUSIVE"
-price trough normal websites using normal rates. Just scroll down to find this "good" offer. For Example; CP Helsinki

Book Early & Save Rate with Breakfast, rate 92.00 €
FLASH SALE BREAKFAST INCLUSIVE, rate 99 €

Nice going, IHG!
