You can set up a corporate account with the hotel on your own!

My next stay will be a 7-day stay which will complete all tasks. I wonder if that 7-day stay will be eligible for unlimited double points or if I should just complete the task ahead of the 7-day stay. The only task now for completion is to have a weekend stay.
i've received back payment of points the double points are posting, and i haven't completed all tasks.

i would call.

Thanks. I have emailed to IHG Ambassador Service Centre and it is bringing me around in circles. The first agent said that the double points have been posted, in which I responded that this was the double points for being the Spire elite member. The second agent said that I have maxed out the 15K double points and I am no longer eligible to receive double points. I have just emailed them the screen shot showing the double points and see what they said. Will post back if I do hear from them.

I've started using FB messenger to contact them and it seems much more efficient than emailing. Usually get a reply within an hour or so.

I’ve been using this method or DM on Twitter for over a year now and agree 100% it’s much quicker than email or contact form from the website.

This is really going in circles with the latest response being that the unlimited double points promo is only for US and UK based members. Will try to send FB message and see if I can get some clarity on this. Will post back if there are new developments.

Update: IHG FB messenger advised to continue to follow up the matter over email since I started the query there. sigh.

The online chat on the website is the easiest!

It is indeed frustrating. Seems like they have closed my case with this email:

Hello Mr. hclee01,

I see you spoke with my colleagues. Thank you for writing back!

My name is DXXX and I'm sorry for the confusion and inconvenience this matter has caused to you. I wish to confirm that the maximize points earning for this promotion is only 15,000 points. Since you already reached the maximum earnings, succeeding stays will no longer earn double points.

Nonetheless, you can be sure that your comments are properly documented in reference number 10XXXXXX. We take feedback seriously and rest assured that we'll do our best to improve our promotions.

In the meantime, please let us know if you need anything else; we're always here to help.

Kind regards,

Hi, All,

I tried to scroll through the various threads to see this, but I can't seem to find it. It seems that I am now having a really hard time trying to find the dashboard to see where I am in regards to my progress of achieving the promo.

Is it still available? if so, is there a link? Thank you in advance
