You will probably fail, even if booking the second night after a checkout as the IHG IT system will catch this in te 3day period one has to wait for stays to post.
Definitely catches up because for promo I needed a 4night stay and booked separate 1night stay , hotel did not merge, both posted later as 3nights+1night and promo later recognised my 4night stay
That is not at all true and I have years of proof - including this year - to dispute it.
I have done back to back to back to back stays (and more). One day at a time. Same property. Same room. Just a different folio for each night. Each one counts as an individual stay. The IHG system does not reflect its own rules.
