Has anyone got points for the Priority Club Visa card payment? One of my tasks is "Book and pay for 1 stays with your Priority Club Rewards Visa, brought to you by IHG® Rewards Club, and receive 1,500", I normally use the card for any IHG stays, nonetheless no points have been credited so far.
Also, I have realised I can even not log in the progress page!
I wonder how seriously IHG is conducting this promotion...

I'm still waiting for mine! I booked 4 stays via the website last month, everything else posted but not this. I will wait for the 6th week by that time I should have done most of the requirement.

Completed everything for my 88,000 X 2 Big Win
Still waiting a week or so for my 2 of 2 Mobile App booking and 2 of 2 HI stay to post.
Some very interesting IHG encounters over the last month.
IC Kuala Lumpur trying to upgrade me to a Club Floor room without breakfast, drinks or snacks. That is just more or less a regular room on a club floor. I had booked the class one below Club to trigger a upgrade to Club or suite.
IC Managua attempting to not upgrade me to available suites even though I purchased Club Floor. They did not seem to grasp the concept of upgrading anything except to a Club Floor.
HIX Shoreditch, London I did not realize how Spartan HIX actually can be. In Europe it can really throw you to pay 5 star (USA) prices for a minimal room. A very cool neighborhood though.
176,200 points here I come

Hey guys, I plan to stay a night at Holiday Inn NY SOHO.
I need to fulfill the Book 1 stays through the Best Flexible Rate with Breakfast requirement.
I have choice of booking "Best Flexible with Breakfast" at the same price as "BREAKFAST AND POINTS (1000)". They both are refundable at the same date. Anyone know if "Breakfast and Points" will check off the flexible rate requirement?
I apologize if the question has been answer before, the thread is so long, I am reading through it now.

I was told by IHG reservation agent A HIX stay would count towards my 2 required HI stays now it appears thats not the case. Do I have a chance if I call the Ambassador line and complain

I called the IHG Rewards Club Customer Care. Phone numbers can be found here: https://www.ihg.com/hotels/us/en/cus...are/contact-us
Since it has been four weeks since my stay ending on January 16 and I am still missing the credit for the "Book with IHG" goal I called. A representative noted the issue and that this had been happening to others as well. The representative said they would look into my account specifically and get back to me within 10 business days. I was not satisfied with this resolution, so I asked to talk to a supervisor.
The supervisor pulled up my account and mentioned that it did show that I booked through IHG and that it would take 6 weeks from when the original points posted to my account to trigger the Big Win Promotion. So since my original booking's reward points posted on January 20 that I should wait until 6 weeks have past (March 3) and then follow up if the Big Win status hasn't updated.
The frustration continues!!!!
If your "Book with IHG" goal has received any points/updates please post a comment!

Has anyone had stays count toward the "Book with IHG" challenge? Anyone have luck getting this error fixed, if yes, how did you do it?
