On the otherside of the spectrum aka at IHG
IHG Hotels which let you earn on F&B spending or not /discussion
Loosely summarized:
Orginal Kimptons from before IHG's acqusition have third parties operating their F&B,
You cannot earn Elite Qualifying Points (EQP) by expenditure at these F&B outlets.
(reason for third parties operating an orginal Kimpton F&B,
is due to a succes formula provided/managed by a hospitality company,
such as

Breakfast for Diamonds or if part of the rate is provided though.
New Kimptons by IHG themselves operate their own F&B venues and expenditure there is EQP.
i am unaware of such situations at Hyatt or Hilton or Accor
