I did get an email from IHG a month before anniversary to inform me a free night was coming. No email on the posting. The duration of validity is kind of weird though - from 10/26/15 to 11/04/16. No idea why it is not exactly one year.
DH never received any email but his posted without glitch, again weird dates 01/04/16 to 01/13/17.
Seems there are additional 9 to 10 days padding to the validity.
I found an email that said thanks for applying on 2/8 so it wasn't instant approval but given I made his first purchase 2/19 I couldn't have taken long.
No email regarding the free night so far.
Our last free night posted for my wife in Sept , 4 days before her anniversary date just like mine.
No rush for the night as it will be for April 2017 and can't even be booked yet
No word from Chase yet
