Well, I have searched the forum but could not find a thread on this topic. So here is my question:

I intend to book two Bonus Points package stays, let us say Day 1 and Day 3.

The T&C said very clearly: Exclusive to IHG® Rewards Club members - Earn X,000 bonus Rewards Club points for your stay when you book the X,000 Bonus Point Package. A stay is defined as one night or consecutive nights at the same hotel, regardless of frequency of check-in/out.


So my understanding is that you can not booking Day 1 and Day 2 under the same rate, or you will loose the second Bonus Points since your two reservation will be considered as ONE STAY.

But if I book Day 1 and Day 3 with Bonus Points rate, and book Day 2 in another rate (i.e. Normal rate), it would still be defined as ONE STAY, would that be right?

What if I book an award night in between, would that change the prospect that I could earn both Bonus Points?

Anyone tried this before and care to share the outcomes? Thanks.
