Depends on the hotel - the rules say this would only count as one 3 night stay, so you can't complain if the hotel combine the reservations into one

Anyone with IHG Rewards stay experience knows that their promo rules rarely turn out to what they say word for word...sometimes in our favor...and sometimes in theirs.
They still owe me for two $25 retail gift cards from a promo late last year...and I've been going round and round on that one with them for over 9 months.

Registring for a bonus code
Can someone tell me how the codes are applied? Do the codes have to be registered for prior to making the reservation? I have a corporate discount that would have to be booked over the phone. The IHG number would then be applied. Would the stay still be eligible for the bonus points?
However, you should not expect that a code will be applied retroactively if you register after checkout.

Tried doing a search but nothing came up. I was wondering if I am able to use to promo codes for points if I book through a third party website. I was looking to do this so I can book my travel through a cash back site since it looks like IHG no longer participates with Ebates or the like. As always any advice is appreciated!

Registering for offer code(s)
I have read the thread on registering for multiple promotional offer codes such as welcome back, platinum , weekend. book online etc
I have 6 codes registered which all expire on December 31, 2013. I have 2 stays - one in early December and one in late December.
Do I need to re-register for the codes again once I completed my first stay or would the codes be applied for both stays?
Or is it only good for one usage?
TIA

I do miss the cashback a lot...especially when it was 15-20%.

IHG is stiil a click through partner with MyPoints, which gives you 5 MyPoints points per dollar (and occasionally more than that specials- there was a 15 points per dollar e-mail earlier this fall I'm now wishing I'd saved) toward United Miles, Marriott GCs, prepaid Visa cards, and assorted non-travel rewards, if any of those would be useful to you.
thanks for this-if you go thru mypoints-are you av for all the priortiy inn stay bonuses?

One other quick question: Does any IHG hotel participate in the bonus points promotions when registered? I thought I saw a link with participating properties, but don't remember...

I promise i've done some digging around but can't easily see the answer for this...
How many of the promotion points go towards your platinum qualifying target? I was currently getting an extra 1000 points as an anniversary bonus which do count towards it but how about these other ones?
