Thanks for the informative sharing here. I have managed to redeem the card for mailing to Singapore. I will see how it goes from here. I am planning to use the card for my upcoming stays in Tokyo and Seoul. Hopefully they do get accepted. Will post back later on the acceptance of the card. Will also try to book using the Advanced Purchase rates and see if this works as well. If anyone has any experiences to share, would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I have used it in IC ANA Tokyo, IC Seoul Parnas, IC Singapore and IC Bangkok without any issue. As the remaining value in the card may not be sufficient to meet the total bill, I have been able to use 2 of the cards to pay for the total bill. Hope this helps.

With that said, I just redeemed points for a couple more $1,000 cards and there's a message at check-out that says they're taking 6-8 weeks for delivery due to delays. Hoping ours arrive by mid-May as I plan to use them on our honeymoon, departing May 16.

Not too sure if anyone has this experience? At the point of check-out, I have emptied my IHG Prepaid Mastercard leaving with only USD0.10 in it. However, when I checked the online account now, it seems that the rates applied is slightly more than the point it was charged and now the card has a overdrawn balance of USD2. In this case, would we be expected to "pay" off the USD2 that is overdrawn?

It's 6 weeks since I ordered my 2 cards and it said 4 to 6 for dispatch at the time I have another 5 weeks until I need them so fingers crossed
.
I might give it a go on an advanced rate as the hotel has confirmed they accept them and I know them well so it would not affect the booking if did not work online.

9 weeks seems a bit excessive for a delivery to Europe, I was thinking my cards to the UK would be less than the 4 to 6 that was quoted but its now 6 weeks and still sign...............

I've used it both with a nonrefundable advanced purchase rate and in person. Either way works.

So its been just over 8 weeks now for me, I contacted customer support who were able to track down that my cards were dispatched on the 11th of march via UPS and that it can take up to 30 days from the shipping date!!

I’m guessing they probably do them in large batches.
they may only produce the cards once every... 4 weeks. Or when they have a minimum of X number of orders.
as producing just one card at a time is not an efficient process.

Has anybody had any joy using more than one Meeting Credits card to pay for a booking?
Unfortunately the hotel I'm interested in isn't contactable at present, but they are taking bookings online for when I'd like to stay.
