Points earned from Qualifying Rates paid for hotel stays, spend on IHG® Rewards Club credit cards, select partner activity, IHG® Rewards Club Bonus Points Packages, and Qualified Spend through IHG® Business Rewards are considered Qualifying Points and are counted towards Elite status.

All other point earning transactions, including points earned from IHG® promotions, Elite status bonuses, activation bonuses or select promotions offered through IHG® Rewards Club credit cards, select partner promotions, point vouchers, point purchases, point transfers, and point deposits, will be considered Non-Qualifying Points and will not be counted towards Elite status.

Meanwhile, after complaining about the bulls**t IHG replied, I received a new message:
"Thank you for your response. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced from our Service Center.
As clearly stated on the IHG Rewards Club Terms and Conditions, points from Bonus Points Package Rates are classified as Elite Qualifying Points. As such, the 3,000 bonus points from the rate package paid during your stay should have counted towards your Elite Qualifying Points. However, due to some technical difficulty the 3,000 bonus points was not automatically counted."
Technical difficulty?
I remeber the call center agent refusing me the points, I remember the email message before...unbelievable. At the end, I m really disappointed about IHG customer service as well as about the unprofessional call center agents. It cant be the case that customers have to fight for their points. I will keep the latest email in my records and will attach it in the near future, when such a technical difficulty happens again...and again...and again...

stupid me, forgot to account for the difference in prices between the advanced booking rate and the rate with the bonus points. $23 difference + $20 for 5k points would put the points at .086 points per $. So in the end, not worth it.

I'm seeing that a lot of hotels (usually HIs and CPs) are having the option to add 5,000 points for $10 on the Best Flexible/Bonus Points rates.

Thats strange, when I stayed @ IC Toronto Centre and opt for the 1000 bonus points, I calculated my "Elite" qualifying points the 1000 bonus points was included. I will try to check this again, next week for IC Yorkville ,I opt for the 5000 bonus points, so I will find out few days later when its posted.

I should note that I stayed at this property in early December:
Holiday Inn : Minneapolis Airport SE - Eagan (10,000 points)
And the points did not post for over a month. I think the hotel never planned to post the points, so eventually, this year, IHG added the points to my account as a goodwill gesture.
This wasn't exactly the most awesome hotel, either. In the middle of a business park and not near the airport at all.

Are these points supposed to post at the same time as the stay, or somewhat later? I recently had a 5,000 bonus point stay where the 5,000 points didn't post.

Anyone knows how to book on App these 5000 bonus point packages?
The App delivers only a basic 1000 bonus pt option on top of all other room rates.
I also tried to go through the 5000 b p link on my iphone safari, but it jumped me on the App with no 5000 option, just the normal 1000 option.
I can only access these bonus points through the normal web link. I would want to book by App to get them qualify for my SYS Book-with-App task (otherwise I will skip the whole SYS)
Your help appreciated as always

Wisconsin/Illinois Update
I find this thread useful in the event I need to do some mattress runs if I'm close to completing a promo (i.e. Set Your Sights).
I found the following updates to the wiki:
None of the Illinois HI or HIE properties appear to be offering >5,000 bonus pts. I did not test the CP.
In WI, the HI Milwaukee Airport did not work either. (I did however see the 10,000 bonus point option for the HIE Milwaukee Airport).
If someone could update the wiki, that would be swell.

It seems that almost all hotels have a 5000 bonus option. When you login to your account you check IHG Offers and some you have options from 1k-5k.
I booked IC Toronto Centre and IC Frankfurt and they have 5000k but you need to go through the link in the offers section.

With IHG Steve;s confirmation that bonus point hotel packages will contribute EQPs towards the newly reformulated elite status thresholds -- especially the as yet unnamed new top tier in IHG Rewards -- to take effect as of 7/1/15, this thread should see renewed interest and, hopefully, additions!
Post and edit away!
NJ
I will also note that this list is in serious need of revisions. For example, the HI Alexandria, VA no longer offers any sort of major bonus points packages.

So I stayed at IC Toronto Cente couple of weeks ago and took the 10,000 bonus and it didn't even show! So I contacted the hotel, later it showed BUT non-qualifying! So I messaged them again! We'll see how it goes. This is important to get the so called "Spire" Elite!

I had a large point bonus not show when the stay points posted, and contacted IHG - instead of getting the hotel to do it later, they just gave me (qualifying) points on the spot. I used their missing points online request form and mentioned that what I was missing was my "additional qualifying points. Went surprisingly smoothly. Might be better than waiting and getting the wrong type of points.
