not sure if you need to meet double points before accelerator can be triggered. No doubt will cause more discussion.

16th September to 16th December.

good luck.

PS: There is a fun game for you guys.

1, Open the task page in a desktop computer and log in. It will show your tasks.
2, Right click your mouse and select 'PRINT PREVIEW'
3, A hidden list will open that is not shown on your tasks.

This hidden list consistence of 'Stay once get X,000 points' and 'Stay 3 times get X,000 points' thing.

Ok I have no idea if these hidden tasks is genuine or not. Whether it can be trigged or not. But it makes fun reading and makes your miserable promotion looks a little bit better.

My offers.

15k Double points from the second stay.
20,800 Stay at five brands
7,200 Stay at 3 Holiday Inn

Can't see me managing the five brands but you never know. I do have a four night fairly expensive stay at an IC planned which conveniently checks out on December 16th so I'm pretty happy with that

Well thats a bit of a disapointment compared to q2 accelerate.:td:

15,000
Double Your StayEarn double points on every stay, starting with your second stay, up to 15,000 bonus points.

11,200
Stay at InterContinental® HotelsStay at 2 InterContinental® hotel(s) and earn 11,200 bonus points.

Wow, to say I'm underwhelmed is a massive understatement.

Quite a poor one for me too

Earn 27,800 total bonus points:

15,000 Earn double points on every stay, starting with your second stay, up to 15,000 bonus points.

5,600 Stay at 2 Holiday Inn® hotel(s)—including Holiday Inn Resort® and Holiday Inn Club Vacations®—and earn 5,600 bonus points.

3,200 Book 2 stay(s) with the IHG® App and earn 3,200 bonus points.

4,000 Earn 4,000 bonus points when you book 1 stay(s) of 4 or more consecutive nights.

It looks like the 15,000 double points is a total for the entire period of the promotion, rather than a maximum per stay.
From the terms
"members will be presented with the opportunity to earn at least 15,000 bonus points upon completion of all offers presented"

Finally. Thx OP!

15k Double Your Stay
4.5k Travel with the IHG® App - 2 stays using Apps
9k Earn More, Faster - 3 stays with Bonus Points Package

So, basically I need 3 Bonus Pts Pkg stays using Apps. ;)

15k doublestay
14.4 discover our brands (3)
3.2 book with ihg app(2)

well at least 2 one night stay in intercontinental could net you 11200 points plus double points on the second stay. I would say it is a good offer. It gives you opportunities to concentrate on other hotel programmes

Somehow I have 30K doublestay instead of default 15K.
The only other task is Book with app.
Weak, weak, weak!

Worst promo from IHG I have ever gotten :D

I wont be having any paid stays for the rest of the year with IHG with these promos

15k double points

8.4k Stay 2 weekend(s), including a Saturday night and another night, and earn 8,400 bonus points

Weak weak weak 😁

Looks like its time to redeem in all the programs this year

Total 54,300 points

15K double points
4K book with the app
15,600 for 5 weekend stays. 5 weekends is a lot!
6,400 book under corporate rate
13K achievement bonus 3 out of 4

It is quite weak:

15k Double Points
19.2k Stay at 3 Brands
6.4k 8 stays using corporate rate

First one will be easy, the last one has never worked even though my company book me into a HI at least 3 times a month!

Quick question about the middle one, I have 2 brands booked in the period, I can't remember if reward stays count for this?

Just answered my own question by reading the T&Cs definition of a 'stay', I did look earlier but it mustn't have registered.

No. From T+Cs.
Number of bonus points listed above will be awarded after the required number of qualifying room nights have been consumed by the member at the required number of distinct IHG® brand hotels between 16 September 2018 and 16 December 2018 (both dates inclusive) at InterContinental®, Crowne Plaza®, Hotel Indigo®, Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn Express®, Staybridge Suites®, Candlewood Suites®, Kimpton®, EVEN® or HUALUXE® hotels worldwide. Stays at Holiday Inn Resorts®, Holiday Inn Select and Holiday Inn Club Vacation® properties count as Stays at the Holiday Inn brand and Stays at InterContinental Alliance® Resort properties count as Stays at the InterContinental brand.

Bit late to entice my stays towards IHG.
 

WHAT !!!! I notice someone else has been offered twice the amount of points as I have for exactly the same target. Appalling discrimination from IHG :-(
If I had the higher offer I expect I would move some stays IHG's way.

But as it is I already have many (non-IHG) accomodation stays booked for the promotion period and needed to book them some time ago so I don't think I'll be getting these points or making any stays with IHG to be fair as it just isn't lucrative enough to switch stays or add little breaks.

Have 30+ nights booked in a couple of Hiltons already and 30+ nights of non-chain stays (villas, resorts, AirBnB etc...) Oct, Nov & Dec. So this was a bit late coming to entice my stays IHG's way.
