Just cancelled my 7 day stay for this week. I have another reservation for 28 days in dubai for their shopping festival dec/jan. If IHG still says I'm ineligible, I'll be booking some place else:(

CMK10 Apr 29, 2019 12:41 pm

Also showing not eligible but I got the email. I guess I'll check back tomorrow and see what's happened.

Book 3 Bonus Points Packages for 6,600 points

Stay 4 nights or more (once only) for 4,000 points

No bonus for completing all tasks either.

Very poor. Hilton here I come.

I would have yours any time. Mine is a boring double points with maximum 40K. Yours is more interesting in comparison.

I've already stated over 40 nights this year with IHG, so was looking forward to a good accelerate for this promotion.
unfortunately, I got a terrible bunch of offers with a 12k achievement bonus target for meeting 5of6 with only 41k of points including the 12k bonus for it all.
Would have been staying around 30-40 nights during this promotion, but will be moving them to Hilton now, and only staying at about IHG about 3-4 nights now for like one or two targets max.

In a way it's good to be given such an offer, it sort of makes you look for pastures new and see what the grass is like on the other side of the fence instead of getting stuck in a routine.

Had a nice first accelerate.

now this one is a bit weak but will probably go for it anyway. Still angry at Marriott... Hilton Diamond almost pocketed...

stay at 3 brands earn 16K
stay at 2 HI 4,6K
stay at 2 weekends 6k


Wife's account also not eligible but got confirmation email for registration,,,
Achievment Bonus 20k

Getting similar error.

When I go through my account and click on promotion it is blank. Don’t know my offer.

Same for me..... Looks like it is still virtually impossible to get fired from the IHG Software Support Team :D

Actually pretty excited for mine, definitely doable this go-round:

Complete all of your Accelerate offers and earn 40,800 total bonus points.

14,400 Discover Our Brands
Stay at 3 brands and get 14,400 bonus points.

4,500 Stay for Less and Earn
Book 1 stay(s) using Points & Cash and earn 4,500 bonus points.

1,500 Spend on your IHG® Rewards Club Select Credit Card
Book and pay for one stay with your IHG® Rewards Club Select Credit Card and earn 1,500 bonus points.

20,400 Your Achievement Bonus
Complete 3 of the 3 offers and earn (an additional) 20,400 bonus points.

Can someone remind me what an eligible stay is? Do free nights (either with points or Chase free night certificate) count?

EDIT: Answering my own question. From terms and conditions:

"Non-Qualifying Room Rates" or "Non-Qualifying Stay" include the following: net wholesale individual and group rate, certain package rates, employee discount rate, friends and family rate, crew rate, special discounted contract rates, seasonal worker/crew rate, 50% travel club discount rate, travel industry discount rate, distressed passenger rate, IHG® Rewards Club Reward Nights/Airline Hotel Reward rate, rates booked through third-party web sites, complimentary hotel Stays and any other rates not defined as a Qualifying Room Rate at IHG’s sole discretion.

Looks like nights booked with points do not count.

I am in the same boat ...

I've only got around 43% of the present "40000 points" promo and will hit Spire after another stay.

As with others, I'm not eligible for the Accelerate promo yet got the email saying I'm registered.
Blank screen where any info about tasks should be.

Does say on the website, under offers, that it runs from 30th April 2019. The app says from 25th April 2019.

holloway1000 Apr 30, 2019 3:56 am

I got 68,400 potential

5600 - Stay 2 weekends inc Saturday
11,200 - Stay at 4 IHG hotels
6,600 - Earn more faster - book 3 bonus point packages
6800 - Corporate account bonus, stay 4 times on corporate rate.
4000 - Stay a little longer - 1 stay of 4 or more nights.
34,200 bonus for completing all 5.


I wont be able to hit this as i don't have enough work trips planned where i can chose my own hotel. (most of our locations are near Courtyard by Marriott. hotels, so we have to book there.)

I am Ambassador, and generally have 10-15 IHG nights a year. i have hit my last 3 promo amounts, usually around 25-30k

jerub Apr 30, 2019 5:01 am

After a wonderful Jan bonus, I get this rubbish:

5,600 Saturday Stays Bonus
Stay 2 weekend(s), including a Saturday night and another night, and earn 5,600 bonus points. Terms
4,500 Stay for Less and Earn
Book 1 stay(s) using Points & Cash and earn 4,500 bonus points. Points & Cash allows you to book Reward Nights with fewer points. Terms
6,600 Earn More, Faster
Earn 6,600 bonus points when you book 3 Bonus Points Package stay(s) and get to your next reward faster. Terms
16,700 Your Achievement Bonus

I don't use points and cash (and probably never will), and I will *never* use Bonus Point Package stays, so I guess I can safely ignore this promotion.

As I'm over halfway to requalifying for Spire: I might do what some other folks posting in this thread suggest and find another hotel chain's promotion to follow?

redreeper Apr 30, 2019 5:04 am

Called because I am still on the blank page.
Was told all they could see was 3 brands - 10800
3 stays - 10800
potential of 79k but she was unable to tell me the other tasks.

IT said wait 24/48 hours system is updating.

:/
