Per the PC T&C

Points for Elite Status – For purposes of determining Elite status, IHG® Rewards Club points are classified as either Qualifying Points or Non-Qualifying Points. Points earned from Qualifying Rates paid for hotel stays, spend on IHG® Rewards Club credit cards, select partner activity, IHG® Rewards Club Bonus Points Packages, and Qualified Spend through IHG® Business Rewards are considered Qualifying Points and are counted towards Elite status. A Qualifying Rate includes the following: non-discounted rate, standard corporate rate, worldwide sales negotiated rate, national/regional/local government rate and specified leisure rates as confirmed by the IHG reservation system. All other point earning transactions, including points earned from IHG® promotions, Elite status bonuses, activation bonuses or select promotions offered through IHG® Rewards Club credit cards, select partner promotions, point vouchers, point purchases, point transfers, and point deposits, will be considered Non-Qualifying Points and will not be counted towards Elite status.
For any IHG property, including the ones listed below, it's a good idea to check the IHG app for additional bonus point packages. For whatever reason, the IHG website does not always include all points packages that can be found in the app.

Well done. You weren't entitled to it.

Here's where I wish we had a "like" button to click.

The idea of booking 30 single night stays back to back exhausted me just thinking about it. Any manager who gives 15,000 amenity points for that is a fool, even on a relatively high rate.

It's also the kind of stunt that I sure wouldn't want to come to IHG's attention (in a possible audit).

Then again, I'm only a peon in the grand scheme of things.

No need, you've already boasted about it on a public forum that we know they read.

Still there

I checked the hotel for Nov 7. The rate is $139 for the 10,000 pkg. What I did was go to the hotel main page and click on Hotel Deals. At the bottom is the package and you book right there.
Hope this helps

So I booked and stayed last week at a 10k qualifying bonus package rate thanks to this thread. Now, it looks like the regular stay and elite bonu points posted, but I am missing the 10k from the package. Do these usually get posted together or separately? Do I keep waiting for the full 7 business days before I can submit a missing points claim? (I assume business days does not include Saturday or Sunday?) Thanks in advance.

If the stay has posted to your IHG account already and the points are wrong you should be able to go ahead and do a missing points.

If the system says that it's too early to do a missing points I would just do a concern message instead.

If the time span is not mentioned in the rate (some hotels do so) the time span is 4 to 6 weeks after the stay. After 6 weeks you can contact the support. In my case the points showed up after about 5 weeks all the time, but never stated as qualifying. A short mail to the service fixed it. Can't understand why the hotels credit the points as not qualifying all the time.
