It helps not completing the previous Accelerate promo
Q1 I needed 18 nts for the biggest bonus (36,000) item and I was tempted to do that, but I find that when I don't complete that item, the subsequent Accel promo requires fewer nts. Sure enough, just registered for the May Accelerate and it dropped to 9 nights. Decent tasks and points:
1st stay 2000
9 nights 18,000
2 using IHG app 4800
Weekend stay 6000
Corp discount stay 2500
2 stays in China/HK/Macau 12000
Redeem 1000
Complete 6 of 7 14,200
May stay 2000
Stay at an IC/Indigo/Even 1500
Also, shows, if printed out:
Stay final week 2000
Stay June 2000
Stay July 2000
Anniversary bonus for 1st stay 2000 (maybe duplicate of the first item?)
