For newcomers to IHG promotions, note that Holiday Inn Express and Holiday Inn (including Holiday Inn Resorts) are two different brand categories for these things. If your dashboard says 'stay at a Holiday Inn Express' as one of the tasks and you stay at a Holiday Inn, it will NOT credit for the Holiday Inn Express task. (and vice versa)
At IHG, points + cash stays are simply points stays where you bought some of the points at the time of the reservation. Once you finish the reservation, a points + cash stay shows as a points stay. Thus points + cash stays only count for tasks where they are specified, and not other tasks.

I got:
Live the InterContinental life when you stay at 2 InterContinental hotel(s) and earn 16,000 bonus points. Terms
as one of my qualifiers. Not as familiar with the IHG program as I am with others. If I use the free night from my credit card, do those typically count as a qualifying night?
Thanks,
Mike
