Thanks! Am bringing a couple, but great to know they have ones that work at the front desk. We have so-called universal adapters, but sometimes the fit is off depending on the country (round, square) even if the prongs are correct.

I am going to release the following reward nights.
20.08.2015 le moana
23.08. Thalasso
24.08. Thalasso
26.08. Thalasso
They would perfectly match with a Bogo stay from 21 to 23. 08.
If someone is interested, please send me a pm to coordinate the time of my cancellation.

I just released one reward night for Thalasso and immediately checked to see if it could be rebooked-- it could not; there was no availability. I logged out and re-logged in, still nothing. Did IHG change its system to prevent bookings of released reward nights?
edit-- nevermind, it takes a few minutes.

It looks like some dates in early October just opened up...I was able to snag the last remaining night I needed as well. I did some shifting around and after 4 nights in Moorea Moorea, our BB schedule is 1 night at Moana, 2 nights at Thalasso and a final night at Moana. Not necessarily ideal, but it was the only way I could piece together 2 consecutive nights at Thalasso.
