And last autumn I got the stay 10 nights and get diamond with again some others didn’t.
I requalified on the same offer early 2025
I didn't get the Elite quailifying bonus offer in early 2025 and haven't got it yet in 2026
I normally book many rooms in Q1. Currently 20 and likely to be 25+. All booked well before this promotion launch. BUT all cancellable.
In 2025 they refused to award the extra quaifying night when I whinged. But they chucked 30K points at me.
2025 I requailfied Diamond on the 8 nights offer. This year no offer - so I will use Hilton on FFR as below for hotels without lounges. It is a simple choice in Manila. IHG are just not competitive in The Philippines.
2025 they introduced a discount on reward nights at about this date in late Jan. I immediately converted 5 paid nights to reward nights!
I know it is always going to be a sales promotion marketing strategy not a respect for loyalty. But it cuts both ways. By moving nights to rewards and taking advatage of our Hilton FFR IHG wil lose a chunk of premium revenue from this family.
