Most rooms listed have 1 king, 2 queens, or 2 singles. My guess would be the 2 single beds since it is limited to 2 people

Thanks for the tip, Dirk. ^
2.5 (American) cents per night is a pretty decent bargain in my book.
Excellent reviews for this hotel from TripAdvisor.

Because this isn't prepaid, the hotel has no obligation to honor it. And since this is ASIA, they absolutely have no obligation to honor it irrespective if you threaten that you'll never stay at this hotel ever again. The hotel will simply inform you that there is a mistake in the rate and that this is the new rate or xxxx baht. If you disagree with the rate, you have the option to cancel.
If you don't hear from them till the time at check-in, expect the above scenario at check-in. You can scream and rant, but you have the choice of walking out.
Unless you have a prepaid, then there is nothing to contest.

I've done one prepaid (though they state they will charge it between booking and arrival, so I don't know if it's already now charged just after the booking) and one not prepaid. Will see what will come out.

Do you think, we will get night credits for this, since this rate is from IC website, and I have full flex rate.
Limits on Points for Stays. Points are not issued for stays at the following reduced room rates (“Non-Qualifying Room Rates”; “Non-Qualifying Stay”): net wholesale individual and group rate, package rate, employee discount rate, crew rate, seasonal worker/crew rate, 50% travel club discount rate, industry discount rate, distressed passenger rate, Priority Club® Reward Nights/Airline Hotel Reward rate, most rates booked through most third party web sites, complimentary hotel stays or any other rates not defined as a Qualifying Room Rate. Except as expressly set out otherwise in these Terms and Conditions, Priority Club® points are not awarded for fractions of a U.S. dollar spent, or for dollars spent on tax, VAT, GST, service charges, gratuities or hotel incidentals. Charges not billed to your room, gift shop purchases, and meeting charges will not be eligible for points. You must have stayed in the room and paid for it in full to receive Priority Club® points. Only one room will be credited per member per night. Only the member whose name is on the reservation record will be awarded points and will be awarded Qualifying Night credit toward achieving Elite-level status or other promotional goals. Only one Qualifying Night credit, per member, per night will be awarded regardless of the number of reservations booked and paid for by the member. Points and/or Qualifying Night credit are not awarded for "no shows" even if the room is paid for in full. Priority Club® points or miles will not be issued if your room is paid for by a trade group, association or company as part of a convention or group business meeting (10 rooms or more). If you stay at an IHG hotel under the terms of a contract or group commitment, you will not be eligible to receive points.

What is the definition of "cannot" (i.e., can "cannot" mean "will not"?)?

However, 0.01 THB does not equal 2.5 cents. For 2.5 cents, you could book a stay of Hans-Dampfian dimensions.

The flexible rate of 0.01 Thai Baht is almost zero. But it may be more susceptible to cancellation. So I would pay the 2.5 cents per night premium and go with the prepaid advance purchase rate.
