63k points possible by:

  • Stay 5 nights, get 10k points
  • Stay at 2 Intercontinentals, get 16k points
--Receive 28k bonus points for completing 3/3 offers--

Also possible is 2k points for staying in Jan and 5k for referring a friend.

Is this considered a good offer on paper? I'm not a fancy 5-star hotel guy by nature, would never normally pay for an Intercontinental.

My situation is also a bit unique - I quit my job recently to do some international traveling. Typically I stay in budget accommodations but I like to treat myself to a nice hotel every fortnight or so. There is an Intercontinental here in Medellin Colombia, a great city where I am passing through until New Years. I can then hit a Holiday Inn in Bogota in a couple weeks. What's the consensus?
If the other nights can be made cheaply, treat yourself to two IC nights, where 8K per night extra isn't bad.
