I understand how you could sign up for a new acct and not seen this thread. I get that. But after reading the thread, you still feel the need to ask? I don't get it. Currently, you've got nothing at risk and there's zero penalty to starting over - that's the safe way and only way to protect any earning your about to put together.
Bottom line is only risk (register for codes that weren't specifically sent to you) a point balance you're willing to lose.
After all that, you still want to register for new codes with a
second acct? Really? Just feel lucky that you're timing couldn't have been better and move on. As someone said above, register for the national promo, you should get some pretty easy hurdles and point earning.
Skirting the system and earning points thru gaming the lack of controls at ihg are over. Unfortunately.
