Of the 2 accounts I mentioned as having in our household, one that had a "failed" redemption and additional points refunded, I immediately redeemed to IHG. My e-rewards account was debited 10k and my IHG account had the points minutes later. So I may have scored here
. The other account only has frequency-restricted redemption partners available so I was unable to empty it quickly
