Yes it is, and you are eligible to participate in both at the same time

I'm pretty sure that the promo start dates include the check out date, but I can't remember ever having tested this.

Even so, you might want to consider staying at another IHG property on 22nd, then moving to the CP for the remainder of your stay. Otherwise, you will not have the promo applied for any of seven nights, as they will all be counted as your first stay.

By staying at another property first, this will be counted as your first stay, then the stay at the CP will all be subject to double points.

Yes - this stay will count as your first stay. The promotion will count based on your check-out date.

Two Questions:

I just made a reservation for one night at a Holiday Inn Express for 4 hotel rooms (all in my name, there is a group of 10-12 of us). I made the reservation before finding this promotional offer, but have now signed up for the offer. Will my reservations be eligible for the promotion even though it was made before I signed up for the promotion? Or do I have to cancel and rebook the reservations to make them eligible?

2nd: Since I have booked 4 rooms, will this count as 4 nights? (3 nights of double bonus?

Thanks!

If it were me, I would cancel and rebook. When you booked you had not yet registered and with IHG - everything is done by computer code. I would not risk having to call later, and then they tell you no.

About the 4 nights - not sure.

CokeandTaco is correct - you will not have to re-book any existing reservations made prior to registering for the promotion. Our systems are looking for stays based on check-in/check-out date, not the booking date!

Thanks,

You need 0 Dollars for the next award.

You have earned the maximum award.

Anyone else getting these kinds of messages?

BillyBaloney

I get screwed up messages all the time. I accepted that fact a long time ago. I only got 3000 points with this promo. It doesn't even sound right to me.

GordonUK

Just checked mine, seeing the same thing in regards to "maximum award"

mnredfox

I assume if I have a stay from 23-24 Jan it counts as my first stay, so with my 2nd stay I start getting 2x pts?

I just wanted to confirm...if I stay at a Candlewood suites tomorrow, and then stay 6 nights at a Crowne Plaza, will I get double points for BOTH? Does the first stay at a Candlewood count towards making my CP stay my "second stay" or does it have to to be 2 CP stays to get credit?
