Two quick questions, if anyone already has the answer.
If I have a stay in progress when I register, does that count as my first stay?
Scratch that first question. I found the answer:
A stay can begin before the Stay Period or end after the Stay Period but will only receive the Promotion bonus points for dates within the Stay Period.
Does a reward stay count to get past that first stay? I remember for completing Accelerate bonuses IHG did not count award stays, but for this promo I am wondering if a reward stay followed by a paid stay would make the second hotel's stay count as the second stay for the promo.
(BTW, the e mail I got from IHG says the promo starts May
5th not May
15th.)
