This promotion is just lame, compared to systemwide benefits for Hilton, Starwood, and Hyatt top tiers. The IHG scheme is a failure because
- Only some properties participate
- A high rate code is required (always more than corp. or govt. rates)
- No benefit for Plats at CP, HI etc.
Since Internet access is such a key feature, I would not stay at an IHG property unless
- The rate is much lower than the competition
- That property offers free internet, as determined by a call to them (but the downside at HI or CP may be slower connection speeds if it's offered free to all guests)
If I am forced to stay at IHG, I would use 3G or 4G connections to access the Internet in the U.S. Likelihood of staying at an overseas IHG is quite low.
