I have got the promo and it has confirmed for me that I will mainly be burning points and spending elsewhere this summer! My stays are generally either single nights on the way to places or 7-10 days in Cat6-8 hotels so pretty useless to me.
Not sure what I will do with it yet but just status matched to IHG Spire Elite might be time to give that a try, need 10 nights in 90 days to keep it, not exactly a challange!
