That seems like a pretty solid offer to me (but I'm a newb). For comparison, my offers are:
8,400 - Discover Our Brands
5,600 - Saturday Stays Bonus
5,600 - Stay at 2 IHG Hotels
6,600 - Earn More, Faster (book 2 Bonus Points Package stays)

I find it interesting that my "Discover our Brands" and "Saturday Stays Bonus" tasks offered fewer bonus points than yours did. And I don't seem to have an offer to receive added bonus points for completing all 4 challenges. Oh well, that's the nature of "personalised" promos I guess.

3-5 weeks now for 2 of my completed tasks to update.

Thanks! I will escalate since my previous 3-4 accelerate promotions have always updated itself within a week.

Four weeks later, my task did not show completed. I would have called, but I've been busy (reading FlyerTalk, among other things).

As soon as the stay posts. No, it is not linked to your credit card closing date. I had this task in the previous Accelerate.

Anyone know why I don’t get this offer anymore? Used to get a accelerate like clockwork but for the last two it says I’m not eligible. I have been staying at ihg so it is annoying.

Thanks I would have been happy with even a small offer !

It appears IHG is breaking up the Accelerate offers into different periods for different members. I, too, was puzzled by being ineligible for the one that started in May, but today I received an Accelerate offer for July 1 to October 31. Anyone who wasn't eligible for the May offer should check their email and/or IHG account.

I assume the new promo should, as usual, have its own thread, so I started one here:

It's now three days after the checkout for my "stay" connected with this task. The points from the task as well as credit for the completed task remain on my Accelerate dashboard. I haven't completed two more tasks necessary for the full Accelerate bonus although my currently planned stays should put me over the top, and my last scheduled stay is far enough before August 31 that I should have time to do another P&C if for some reason IHG claws back the completion of the P&C task, but my experience here indicates that a P&C stay booked but canceled will qualify as a completed task.

I did a Points + Cash redemption and stay in early May that should have netted me 4500 points. To date, my dashboard remains bare. So, the other day I wrote to customer service, receiving this reply yesterday:


My name is... and I'm happy to help you with your Ambassador Spire Elite account.

I see that you're looking for your points from Stay for Less and Earn offer.

I'm sorry we're unable to post the points now because we're having issues on our system. Don't worry, we'll keep your account monitored. Once the issue is fixed, we'll post your points right away.

IHG's IT must be really odd. I have followed this thread, of course, and have seen the multiple reports of folks having problems with stays posting and tasks being marked as complete. I haven't had a single issue with that. With the exception of the "pay for a stay with the IHG Select," which I knew would take weeks to post because the payment for a stay doesn't post until after the statement date has closed, all of my tasks have been marked with either progress or completion in about three days.

You'd think it should either work or not work pretty equally across different members, but clearly that is not the case.

Completed a few tasks over the weekend, namely the book 2 bonus points packages one and the book with points and cash one. I haven't ha anything credit to my account yet, and the Accelerate page shows zero progress. I thought these things posted at the same time as the regular points for the stay, so the task page updated itself immediately. Or has something changed, which will now require manual intervention?

Although everything posted correctly in terms of the points for the stays (including 1,000 bonus points each time for the bonus points packages) I had a bit of a struggle with the bill for the Holiday Inn Express Bridgewater, SW England, at checkout. Somehow the girl had added 13 pints of beer to my bill (I had had one free one with the gold member drink voucher and one paid one). I guess she typed the thing in wrong, but just as well I am checking everything before signing off on the credit card. In the end, the manager waived the lot. Then I had to politely struggle with the DCC scam, where they were insisting on billing me in Swiss francs (the currency of my card) whereas I wanted to pay in English pounds. New hotel, teething troubles?

By the way, you've ordered a drink or two and you want to charge it to your room (to get more points or for convenience). Just make sure you check the paper slip they bring to your table before signing it.
