Will the rewards club exclusive rate with breakfast count for the Into The Nights promo? I was under the impression that it must be the best flex with breakfast.

Unless you got some special goal like "book a night under best flex rate" or something, most rates should qualify for the regular stay goals. Here's the T's and C's from goal to do two stays-

"A Stay constitutes a “Qualifying Stay” when paying qualifying rates, which include most business and leisure rates. Points are not issued for Stays at the following reduced room rates (Non-Qualifying Room Rates or Non-Qualifying Stay): net wholesale individual and group rate, certain package rates, employee discount rate, friends and family rate, crew rate, special discounted contract rates, seasonal worker/crew rate, 50% travel club discount rate, travel industry discount rate, distressed passenger rate, IHG® Rewards Club Reward Nights/Airline Hotel Reward rate, most rates booked through most third party web sites, complimentary hotel Stays and any other rates not defined as a Qualifying Room Rate at IHG’s discretion.

Sorry I misread, I was thinking of the points package ones, not the breakfast doh!

Free Nights earned must be claimed by 31 January 2015 or members will automatically be awarded applicable points. Free Nights can only be used in participating IHG hotels and may not be transferred. A Free Night is valid only for one standard room night rate and applicable taxes (not including breakfast). Redemption is subject to availability of the rooms of hotels specially provided for this promotion.

I assume from reading these terms IHG will exclude the high end hotels. "The hotel rooms hotels specially provided for this promotion shall be determined at IHG’s discretion".

It's a good thing I read the TERMS; Air Canada is not a Participating Airline in this promo.

I take it that you push the download now, for the app. and then transfer it to your phone? or can it be on a I pad ??

Asaro

Are you sure you're reading your offer correctly? Sounds like you're reading "points" as "miles". I saw some posts a while back stating that the promo could yield a minimum of 50k points or 10k miles. 89k miles sounds far too extreme.

mech11

It's miles,,,,44,800 miles and 45,000 bonus,= 89,800 total miles.
But I have to switch my earnings to Alaska and who knows what will happen.

DancePlaza

are the 2 vouchers transferable to me from an other person
and can i book a stay with my current points and combine with the 2 free nights?

SteamyUncle

You can't transfer but you can book nights for somebody else.

I don't see what you mean my combining. Are you free to book nights on points and then book free nights before, after or in-between? Hell Yeah !

chrism20

I'd say it's a full gone certainty that the likes of IC PL, Amstel etc etc will be ruled out or will have 'Limited' availability - ie very little.

Until they issue a list it's difficult to say one way or another which way is best to go tbh. If you take London for example if the IC is excluded some may still opt for some of the Indigo's or CP if they are on the list due to them requiring 45k points, if not I can see more going for the points.

I wonder if and when we will see a list.

lowfareair

Anyone else's promo change? I had the standard '3 nights, 2 Saturdays, 2 holiday inns, etc.' promo for 4,500 + 50,000 bonus. I signed in now and have 4 nights, survey, 2 HIs, and breakfast with points rate for 18,100 + 31,900. Thoughts?

nvm, that's what I get for not reading the past the latest page. See others have the same thing.

DancePlaza

I would like to book 1 stay with 5 nights based on:
3 nights with points
and 2 nights with the 2 free night voucher

chrism20

If I understand what you are saying correctly that won't be possible.

Just to check if I've got it correct. Your Into the nights target is for three nights, obviously including a points package and you want to stay these three nights and then use the two free nights to extend your stay to five nights?

If I've read it correct that won't be possible as you first need to wait on the actual stay/s posting to your IHG account and then wait on them porting to the dashboard which takes at least another three to four days so you are looking at around eight days from checkout for your free nights to be released.

Also adding them onto the end would also risk the reservations being merged which would mean the points for the first three nights (paid) would be held up further as the stay is extended and won't go to IHG for posting until you physically checkout.

If that wasn't what you were meaning my apologies and pass me the sniffing salts

crimsona

I really hope there will be a way to check availability without redeeming for the voucher first, especially if it is more limited than regular reward nights

From VFTW's post on 9/5:
"IHG confirmed for me that these free nights work just list their co-brand credit card’s annual free night: usable at any participating IHG property (as long as reward nights are available) and expire after 12 months."
