I think I read it in the past this was working.

Yes, you get bonus points when earning miles. Except you won't get 1500 Avios because that's a mistake on the IHG website...

Thanks!

what elite level do you need to get the bonus-is gold enough or do you have to be plat?

thanks

Just got 20k bonus points on my first Jan stay. I think I deserved those since I missed the fall-2013 BigWin

However, I don't know if they came from the dozen of codes I registered in December, or the additional 10 codes of 2014.

My bigwin2014 does though show 0 points?? Aren't these promo codes stackable with the bigwin?

Has this been confirmed that it's a mistake on IHG website?

Basically yes, I would recommend you to register for them right before your stay.

My first stay was Jan 5-6, second Jan 6-7.

Unfortunately like the rest of you I just put in all the codes and there is nothing on my offers page, so I can't tell which codes set off the market test.

What is really surprising to me is that even the ones that say 'for 60 days' did not post on the stay that happened just the next day.

I am curious if anyone else has had their multi-stays disappear like that.

Sure: You did not receive the original offer!
You should ONLY call when a promotion does not work properly which you had been invited to before!
What if they ask you where you found that code?

You can always wait for Loyalty Lobby to confirm.

But I received an email from IHG in October after complaining that my September CP stays didn't get the 1500 miles I expected. I also had a HIX stay in December that got me a total of 61 miles!

Loyalty Lobby is no more "legit" than me or any other blogger (or FTers) who circulate the codes. So quoting a particular website to IHG doesn't help anybody, but may result in IHG starting to track the bloggers and killing codes that get published...

As has been repeated hundreds of times, unless you receive the code directly from IHG, don't call, email, etc. regarding promo codes.
