I forgot what they gave me as the website is DOWN

We are going to need to find out if points+cash stays will count. This is mission critical.

Not sure the promo has been officially rolled out yet, which may explain some of the issues, and sometime it appears certain geographies can't get to the page, while others can.

It's back. My promo, which I have approx. 120 days to complete is:

a) One and done - 1000 pts
b) 7 nights for 7400 pts
c) 4 brands for 24000 pts
d) Survey - 100 pts
e) 4 Saturday nights - 6400 pts
f) Book and pay a stay with the IHG credit card - 1500 pts
g) Get all of goals - 40000 pts

So approx 80K if I do it all. If I cheap-out and do 4 Sat. night stays at 4 different brands, plus survey and use card, then I get 33K. Not bad.


  • Does anyone know if points+cash stays count?
  • Does anyone know if previously booked nights (booked prior to promo but for next month) will count?


Thanks for any info.

They like me! They really, really like me!

I got the best offer seen so far. Track record is PC platinum for many years, but since I started getting the status via credit card, have cut way back on my paid nights- probably only 3-5 in the last year...

Sample 5
•One stay is all it takes (Stay at any IHG® hotel and receive 1,000 Points)
•More nights. More points (Stay a total of 4 nights and receive 9,600 Points)
•Mix things up (Stay at 2 different IHG brands and receive 30,000 Points)
•Booking direct really is the best (Book 2 separate stays through an IHG® hotel website or mobile device to get our best price guarantee and receive 6,000 Points)
•Survey the win (Complete a simple survey and receive 100 Points)
•Live the City Life (Stay at one of a selected list of North American hotels and get 18,000 points)
•Saturday stays just got better (Stay 2 Saturday nights and receive 12,000 Points)
•Spend it to get it (Book and pay for your stay with your Priority Club Visa card, and get 2,300 points)
•Finish with a really big win (Complete all of your offers and receive 79,000 Points)

So it looks like if I book a weekend stay at a Candlewood and another at a HI Express, for a total of 4 nights I get 148,400 points- even at 0.5c a mile, still worth doing mattress runs to get there...

Friendly

Also Madrid and Düsseldorf, which are both in the European 'city' list.

They did the same for crack the case and made some of them practically (and in some cases literally) impossible; you would think they might have learned from their mistakes.

14 out of 17 Saturdays is obviously not sensible.

When it says 'spend $40 on dining' -- must that be done in conjunction with a hotel stay? I assume the promo dept can sort out an F&B charge from a room charge to make sure we get the points?

Sample 6

Try One And Done -- 1000 points
Stay More And Earn More -- 6400 points for 4 nights
Explore Our Brands -- 20000 points for just 2 brands
Book With Us -- 4000 points for 2 separate stays booked online OR mobile
Survey The Win -- 100 points for a survey (says "Coming Soon")
Live the City Life -- Stay at 2 of the following locations and earn 12000 points (appears to include most hotels in Chicago, Denver, LA, NYC, SF, Seattle, DC, Sao Paolo, Mexico City, Montreal, and Vancouver)
Win In A Weekend -- 4800 points for 2 Saturday nights
Win Big -- complete all your offers and receive 48,000 points

My counter says I could win a total of 96,300 points by completing the promo. Pretty unlikely given my travel patterns, but maybe that needs to change

I'm a Platinum with no IHG credit card and no paid stays ever AFAIK…last stay I remember was a 3-night award stay in January.

I am a platinum RA and stayed about 25 nights so far this year. My past stays included Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong and several cities in China.

This is what I got...

1. Try one and done - 1000
2. Stay more and earn more - 9,000 for 12 nights
3. Explore our brands - 16000 for 4 brands
4. Book with us - 6,000 for 7 separate stays online or APP
5. Get out there - 5,600 for 3 locations in Japan and Australia cities.
6. Win in a weekend - 6,400 for 4 Saturdays
7. Win big - 44,000 points

88,000 in total...

It is going to be challenging but doable .

However, I already registered the China Dream promotion prior to this, which should not coexist with other promotion according to its T&C, but still registered successfully with this. Don’t really know what would happen and would just wait and see.
