IHG china dream promo

Has anyone signed up for this promotion ? How do u earn the 4 free nights? Do you have to stay at 2 brands in two days to earn 1 free night ? So for example.. stay in holiday inn express, than stay in holiday inn the next night. Would earn me a free night?

So to earn 4 free nights, you have to switch back and forth every night ?? holiday inn express, holiday inn, holiday inn express, holiday inn, etc..

A good article written here:
http://loyaltylobby.com/2013/08/20/i...ferent-brands/

In short, you need the following:

1: A greater China resident (System recognise by address. Go figure the rest)
2: You need to stay in different brands. So yes, you can go HI for 1st night, HIX for the 2nd - then repeat.

IHG china dream promo

Just to add on, has anyone been able to sign up and complete the China dream promo after they have completed the BIG Win? I have completed the Big Win and was wondering if eligible to go for this.

If I stay at a holiday inn express for 5 days, than switch to holiday inn for the next night, would that still count in earning a free night ?

Than if I stay at THAT holiday inn for 6 nights, than switch back to holiday inn express, would it earn me the 2nd night ?

basically, could I stay at either brand for more than one night and switch ?

You have to have consecutive stays in different brands to earn a free night.

In your case, a few days after your second stay in holiday inn, the first free night will credit.

If you move back to HIE, this only counts as your first stay for your second free night.

That is, it doesn't matter how many consecutive nights you spend in the same hotel, it counts as one stay.

So far from what I have seen on my won account as well as some other people is that the Sweep happens either on a Thursday or Friday but varies as to how long it take for the free night to be posted after achieving the required 2nd brand:

The dates are: 2nd brand check-out date/posting of stay = free night posting date:

-> Sep 9/Sep 12 = Sep 20 (Fri)
-> Sep 16/Sep 19 = Sep 26 (Thu)
-> Sep 18/Sep 21 = Sep 26 (Thu)
-> Sep 29/Oct 2 = Oct 11 (Fri)
-> Oct 7/Oct 10 = Oct 18 (Fri)
-> Oct 20/Oct 23 = Oct 31 (Thu)
-> Oct 27/Oct 30 = Nov 7 (Thu)
-> Nov 1/Nov 4 = Nov 7 (Thu)

So it can range from 3 to 9 days from stay posting.

Hope this help

Good to know. My last stay posted on 11/11 - hopefully that would be counted in the sweep for tomorrow.
