Totally OT, but the first trip I took with the unfortunate woman who became my wife was to Seattle, where I made her stay in three different hotels over a four night period so I could get extra stay credits toward elite status.
Folks, if you're looking to find an understanding partner, take him/her on a tour of Seattle Starwood properties. If they haven't dumped you by the end of the trip, they're the one.
Somebody who knows IHG better than I do can tell you if reward nights count.

Enjoy your trip!
Sounds like she might not have a choice.
