Spend More on your IHG rewards premium Club Visa
Book and pay for your next getaway at an IHG hotel using your IHG® Rewards Club Premium Visa® card and earn 1,500 bonus point
Has anyone else had this offer in the latest promotion? If so has it been completed.
I have used my IHG card at least 5 times to book and pay for a hotel, Still nothing.
I have emailed IHG but they just keep telling me to wait
The main page says 2300 points, But the smaller writing says 1500 points.
Also i have noticed in the terms it says:
"Number of bonus points listed above will be awarded when you use your IHG® Rewards Club Premium Visa® to purchase the number of Qualifying Stays as listed between 1 January 2015 and 30 April 2015"
But now i am wandering how many qualifying stays they actually mean

Just my $0.02. I'm really happy with the way the SYS promotion has been going. Although I won't be able to complete all my offers, the ones I have completed have tracked correctly in the dashboard, and I've received my points. It's a breath of fresh air not to have to call IHG to get points to post.
It looks like after two failed attempts with the Big Win, IHG has finally figured this thing out!

I received an email saying that I had achieved the task but it never posted to the dashboard until about a fortnight after I received the email. After it posted to the dashboard it was the standard ten days or so to post to my account.

However, I have yet to stay at an IHG for SYS and yet my SYS dashboard for this very task shows that it is completed. The completion date shows during the current promotion even though it actually was completed during ITN -- this says to me that at the very least, it is when the bill appears on your credit card statement -- and perhaps only when that charge actually shows as paid, so there could be a fairly long lag time for the dashboard to actually show as completed.
I will note, however, that unlike apparently some of you, I have yet to receive points from this dashboard bonus -- I simply concluded that at the end of the current promotion they would be added to my account like last time.
I am not worried that I will ultimately see these bonus points for although I have no intention of completing all of my SYS tasks, I do intend to complete one of them wherein I will use my IHG MC, thus earning me the bonus during the actual time-frame of the current promotion.
However, given my premature crediting of this task in the current promotion from what was a stay during the last promotion, I have concluded that unlike other tasks, this one might involve a potentially considerable time delay.

I sent a missing bonus pts message on this 10 days ago. Got a reply a few days later saying the request was forwarded to the project coordinator to review. That was March 19. Haven't heard anything back so I followed up yesterday. No response yet.

My IHG stay with a credit card posted quickly for an HIX...and, the stay was actually on my spouses IHG number not mine. It was the only thing on my dashboard for over a month.

IHG response
<<Please accept our sincere apologies as we are experiencing delays in updating the dashboard for completed offers. We are aware of the issue and are working round the clock to resolve this the soonest possible time. One of my colleagues will get back to you as soon as we have an update from our contacts.
We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you as we value your patronage. Should you require further assistance, please feel free to contact the IHG Rewards Club Service Center again.>>
No idea whether it is caused by Chase not sending the correct info because it is not billed in Crowne Plaza name or IHG actually knows I have used IHG card to pay for the CP stay but just because of dashboard updating issue... That the latter does not seem true because the Globe Trotter bonus posted promptly the moment the stay posted.
Then I got TWO not just one, IHG Surveys on how the agent was doing, as if I made a phone call... what an idiotic IT programming.

Holiday Inn Resort Acapulco
Holiday Inn Resort Puerto Vallarta
Holiday Inn Resort Daytona Beach Oceanfront

Still no resolution on the non-posting 1500 bonus pts for using IHG card to pay for IHG stay.
Was told by phone rep that it would be 2 to 3 weeks after check out. Well, I asked him to use a calculator, today is 30th, the stay was 8th - 21 days have just passed and still not points. He said it was generated by system automatically and nothing he could do now however if still not posting by next week, call back.
