The same here!
This is a total rip off and let down - the terms were changed and now it says we have to achieve this 15K point threshold in the first category to achieve the final bonus!!! Here was my offer:
15,000 Double Your Stay Earn double points on every stay, starting with your
second stay, up to 15,000 bonus points. 14% In Progress BOOK NOW
16,000 Discover Our Brands Stay at
2 brands and get 16,000 bonus points. Completed
12,000 Saturday Stays Bonus Stay
2 weekend(s), including a Saturday night and another night, and earn 12,000 bonus points. Completed
6,600 Earn More, Faster Earn 6,600 bonus points when you book
2 Bonus Points Package stay(s) and get to your next reward faster. Completed
34,600 Your Achievement Bonus Complete 4 of the 4 offers and earn (an additional) 34,600 bonus points. 75% In Progress BOOK NOW
Here is the breakdown after
the second stay:
Holiday Inn Santa XXX
Number of Nights: 2
Total Earned 41,760
Base Points 2,064
Elite Bonus Points 1,032
Bonus Point Packages 2,000
Discover Our Brands 16,000
Saturday Stays Bonus 12,000
Earn More, Faster 6,600
Double Your Stay 2,064
Total spent $435.55
to get 46,320 points not to mention the points that will be earned by using the Chase IHG MC Earn 10 points per $1 spent when you stay at IHG hotels which will be 4356 points = 50,676
So the bottom line it cost .86 cents to earn each IHG points in my offer - I am not going further, this isn't worth it as I calculate anything over .5 cents per point is too much!
