Oh yeah, not a problem. With as many people that seem to have had their accounts cancelled for "abuse" I can definitely understand the paranoia, so in situations like that I guess it's definitely just better to go on and get the official answer rather than wasting time speculating about the ambiguous nature of the terms and conditions and promotional materials out there.

I'm curious how you made so many paid stays at an average cost of $8.75/night.

Even though the one person mentioned it is ok to share, I am going to hold off until more people try it. I would think IHG came up with this promotion to get other people to become members. I don't get any serious sharing points until I hit night 60.

He could have booked most of the stays for friends/family under his account.

Thats what I was thinking - Friends/family, or reimbursement by his employer for business stays.

I receive corporate communications from IHG Rewards Club about new promotions. Just saw this FlyerTalk thread today.

Here are the lines from the initial IHG email to clarify why all the bloggers stated you can share or keep points for your own account. My email was probably the same email for many bloggers who were contacted by IHG Rewards Club at the launch of the promotion.

Note: For the first night, all members will receive 500 points for them and 500 points to share (which they can keep for themselves as well if they’d like). Then, a member will receive a variable nights requirement with a variable point amount. They will get 1,000 more points to share (or keep). The offers increase with this type of construct.

Awesome! Appreciate the extra information. At this point I feel more than safe saying this is acceptable to do.

Yep, I shared my first bonus, 500 points, with myself. It took a couple of weeks to post, but I just saw it this morning.

I also shared the first one, 500 points, with myself and it posted BUT I also shared the second and third one with myself and have yet to get an email for either one to accept (and my account just says pending on both). I've been waiting for nearly 2 weeks on the second email to accept.

I already had my fourth award posted today but still no sharing with myself email to accept from the second and third awards.

I haven't run across the situation with previous promos, but this time I have a reservation for Sept 7 - 8. Have these check in on technically the last day and check out later stays been credited to Big Win, Into the Nights, etc?

I made it to level 5 last week and chose my free night, but it still hasn't posted yet.
Will finish this promotion once my 5 night stay posts from this past week.

Has anyone received their free night and it posted yet?

First 500 miles gifted to my brother. Email went through immediately.

The next 26,000 points were all gifted two weeks ago. Still says "pending" under my "shared gifts."

He has not received ANY of the 4 emails yet....kinda stupid.

I had shared "Gold" status. The email went out right away and it was accepted soon. Does anybody have an experience as to how long does it take for "Gold" status to be reflected on the "receiving" account? Thanks so much.

It happened to me at 2K level. After about 15 days, I got an email from IHG that my gift was not accepted within x days and I have to share again. Second time it worked. There is some kind of timeout on accepting the gift, you just have to wait.

I am waiting for 30K share to expire.
