I received this same offer.

Question for the promo vets: will small incidential expenses billed to the room and paid by the IHG CC trigger either bonus? They shouldn't in theory, but in the past I've seen conflicting things in similar situations, so thought I'd ask.

Specifically, I'm currently on a 2-night pointbreaks stay, and then a one night HIX priceline prepaid stay on Monday night. I wonder if it's worth putting a $5 incidental charge on each of these room stays in the hopes of triggering this promo, or something else? TIA for any recent datapoints or informed suggestions.
