Also, I know reward stays don't count as qualifying stays; I assume points + cash stays don't either, correct?

Points and cash are reward stays.

Is this promo that bad? Are the free nights not eligible at intercontinental?

Mine is 22 nights for 22k, up to 87.5k and sharing 58.5

Or deduct 25k from each total and get 2 free nights anywhere?
On top of that I get to gift gold? (Uhh,useless?)

Somehow ... I can't see 56 nights in four months; 36 would be REALLY pushing it!

do you mean 37 nights? 20 nights above your goal of 17 is 37 nights

This was mine too! I like this promotion. No Saturday night stays. No specific credit card required. No booking a timeshare presentation. No brand specific requirements. Depending on what happens with the other programs (specifically Marriott) I may try to hit the 12 Nights Above Goal.

I guess I will be looking at other hotel promos for this summer---this one is bad.

The promotion is not bad, especially for business travelers and those who spend a good deal of time at 1 property or more.

It is probably better than most of the other promotions that will be released this summer, but time will tell.

After all, hotel occupancies are up and this one provided pretty decent rewards if you got a reasonable offer -- it is just that it still may not fit one's stay patterns.

And, yes, I specifically noted, that the free night is good in the Americas (North/South/Central and likely Caribbean -- certainly those countries whose nationals can register for this promotion!!) -- and nowhere does it state that it is not good at Intercontinental hotels, indeed the rules refer to Intercontinental Hotel Group hotels -- which run the gamut from Intercontinental on down, so it would be pretty silly for the promotion to state the all encompassing family name of the hotels, but exclude the hotel brand with that exact moniker. Furthermore, I WOULD HAVE WISHED FOR FACTORY81 to have kept his ill-conceived musings to himself as he is just plain wrong as the rules clearly indicate.

Have we figured out whether bookings prior to April 21 registration will count? Or need to cancel & rebook?

I think that I got a toughie here, but I will give it a shot. Need to figure out whether reward stays count.
Edit: They do not count. Rules here.

Here it is:

55 nights, 100,500 points, plus (55*15*150 + 15* 500 = ) 130K ish, 230K Points. Not bad, but, darn...

(and I have 21 nights already reserved from now until June 15, so it is doable, but, darn...)
