Let me simplify this.
You are an IHG employee. This is no secret. You have a web-site with the same handle you use here. I assume therefore that you are confident that your employer knows that you and other senior people are cascading the offers to people who are not "your friends".
You have publicised the offer to FT'ers by posting a link. Even on your footer, you have a link to the F&F offer so that when you post on other forums you will nkow that non-IC forum users will use that rate. As far as I know, we are not related, so I am not your Family. You will also know that I am not your Friend. You do not know me. So how can I be your Friend? How can anyobdy else here be "your Friend".
Your employee has allowed you to invite me to use that rate. The T's&C's make clear that I will not earn points. It makes clear that I cannot have my money back once I have made a booking.
So how will people who use the rate that you have taken trouble to publicise know that they cannot use BOGOFs?
Instead of going back and forth on this, how can "anybody" else be my friend on here? Simple, I have met others in person and communicate with them here and outside of FTer as a result of meeting them on FT.
Whether I have a site, or my employer knows, etc, any click on the link for any of the Friends and Family Rates will give you the information of the person. I am not PR, nor guest relations, etc, and again, this is outside of the realm of myself, but thanks for the feedback, should someone inquire for feedback, I will be sure to pass on your thoughts.
