Well, they finally fixed the survey problem. Received an email entitled "It's time to celebrate" which said the challenge had been completed.

Went to the site and my big win shows as completed now and all the points have been posted including the outstanding Big Win ones. Better late than never!

My wife too. Four stays and 108000 points. I required inter alia 56 nights and 12 Saturdays, so I kindly declined.

I sent an email two days ago about the Big Win not posting and got a response this morning with the points. Glad to see it appears it worked for everyone. Was very impressed by this promotion. All it required for me to earn almost 82k points were 2 nights in a CP (which had been planned anyway), 2 nights at 2 Holiday Inns and 1 night at an IC. In the process, IHG renewed my Platinum status and my Ambassador status after almost no stays last year. The bribery worked and IHG is my preferred choice this year (still not too sure about those Holiday Inns though.)

I got an email which seems to indicate the survey is completed. Points are yet to flow, and the big win status count still does not count the survey in the total. But the email is progress, I guess....

I just have a hard time keeping up with anything IHG; the lag time to post a stay, the lag time for this promo, the lag time for surveys; it makes it untenable.

On another note, on the home page they show Holiday Inn Resorts as a brand but for the purpose of this promo, it counts as a Holiday Inn. I don't understand that.

I got the same email, but my totals were unchanged. I'll put the celebratory champagne on ice

I'm beginning to think this is an elaborate ruse to get us all to visit the IHG site every day @:-)

my points (BW final award) posted overnight.

however, fwiw, the BW site still does not show the credit

In the end, it took about 30 days (and one email) from my final checkout for the final award of points to work its way thru the BW system

Anyone else having trouble getting credit for the cc requirement?
Finally posted this week. Took4 weeks but it came thru.

Do points + cash nights count for qualification? Looks like they do, but want to confirm.

My understanding is they don't. Would like to hear otherwise.
