I thought booking ahead of the promotion was not a problem as long as one stayed at the hotel during the promotion time. Or am I wrong?
Otherwise, one could cancel the reservation and jump ship to another chain that offered something equivalent, right? (Assuming the reservation is not one of those non-refundable ones.) What am I not understanding?

They pointed out the following
"Must be an IHG® Rewards Club member and must register your member number in advance to participate in this Offer ("Registration")."
"which must be completed between 1 June 2016 and 31 August 2016 (both dates inclusive)"
They must be a qualifying rate, I specificaly asked if I needed to re-book any that I had on the system now as I booked these before I registered.
After 5 minutes they said NO need so long as I have registered for the promotion before any of the stays have completed/posted any stays undertaken/posted during the qualifying period after registration will be credited.
I have asked for them to send an email just to be on the safe side.

Hi Everyone,
Would any be able to clarify what the following means:
Saturday Stays Bonus - Stay 2 weekend(s), including a Saturday night and another night, and earn 2,000 bonus points.
If I were to do two 1-night stays on Saturday, would it satisfy the condition?
Thanks!

A weekend must be a Saturday plus another night - Friday and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday.

Advice please.
Target 1- 2 stays two different countries.
Target 2- use cash and points.
Question
Will a cash and point booking in another country get me 50% of target 1?
Cash and points don't usually qualify so intrigued if this one would.
Thanks

I wouldn't expect that to be the case.

It appears that I have to complete a minimum of 4 nights then (instead of the 2 that I had initially thought).Gotta love these ambiguities!
