Thanks! I really appreciate the insight. This saves me from registering for the promo and letting it go to waste. Now, I can save it for a time I will actually have a qualifying stay.

Why on earth would you assume that?

I have had 3 stays in the last one month. I have registered for possible promos. netted me ~12K on the first stay. 20K on the second. From the 3rd stay, I could only register for one promo and got points(~5K) for only that. I have another stay coming up in 2 days. I have not able to find any new promo code. Does that mean no bonus points for me this time? How to IHG loyalists get around the problem.

I don't think they particularly do... myself, I try a few extra codes about once a year and they are nice to get along with the normal point nights... but I don't think anyone can expect a bunch of bonus points every stay, nor should they... my 59 nights so far this year has given me 350K+ points with 150K qualifying points.. that's enough!!

True, the extra points have just made me more greedy and raised my expectations sky high.

And my big win is not in there.. I'm 4 stays (which are booked) from another 83K points on top of this year.. over 400K for a year is pretty ok with me...

I could register for this one, but the points never posted. There may be something in the fine print that we don't get to see, such as the offer being valid for one specific brand only.

Q4/2014 - best promo quarter ever?

Is the current quarter the best ever for promos? The Big Win can earn huge amount of points + there are many unlimited stay promos + one time promos.

It's not difficult to earn 100k with a 2-3 short stays. Actually my SO got 90k with 2 one nighters and will cross 100k with the third one.
