One of my promos is the book with points + cash promo.
I know that full points nights do NOT count towards any other promo, such as stay at 6 different hotels. Do the points + cash nights count towards this? Trying to see if I can knock two items off in 1 night or if I need to pay for this one since it's not one of my usual hotels and will get me closer to the 6

My full offer (total 62k points)
10,800 - stay 3 weekends including saturday and other night
4,500 - stay for less (1 night points + cash)
16,800 - stay at 6 IHG hotels
5,200 - stay 5 times using corporate rate
4,000 - 1 stay of 4 nights or longer
20,700 - complete 5/5 above

In my case, a points & cash stay would also satisfy the requirements of other tasks, such as stay at a certain brand or stay at a certain time.

edit to note: others feel strongly that this is incorrect as it did not work with regards to their personal tasks so do not accept it as fact, simply check after a P&C stay and see if it satisfied other requirements.

Not much in the way of a Achievement Bonus.

Basically the "stay at 2 brands get 8800 points" element is the only one I can do. Pretty sad.

Just get a blank page here.

Absolutely not. It is a non-qualifying rate. All you are doing is purchasing points which is the trigger for your other task.

Points + cash is a non-qualifying rate (it is the same as a reward night). It will not satisfy the requirements of staying at a brand or certain time.

No. Absolutely not. The stay will post as a non-qualifying rate and not satisfy any other task. The stay is not what is triggering your fulfilling your task, it is the purchasing of points.

Still blank page..

Same for me. I've e-mailed the Ambassador team and they've not come back with anything useful yet apart from keep trying over the next 48 hours.

Count me as one who registered, was told I'm not eligible (based on my current earning preference), received the confirmatory email, and the offers page has nothing personalized.

Well put.

I thought I remembered these being coded as a reward night, but I haven't done it in forever as I have enough points.
I'll save this task for a hotel that I stay at frequently.

My apologies if my response was incorrect. However, for real, I had "Stay 2 times with points and cash" and "Stay at 3 brands" and they did cross over for qualification. The points and cash nights did satisfy the brand requirement.

4 brands = 16,800
2 Holiday Inns = 5,600
2 weekends = 5,600
1 Points & Cash = 4,500
2 Bonus Points Packages = 6,600
1 x 4-night stay = 4,000

No achievement bonus.

Theoretically, the whole 43,100 could be done in 9 nights (or 7 nights without the 4k for the 4-nighter). Can't see myself bothering with the 4 brands, so forget that.

Cherry picking the easy stackable ones leaves me with 2 x 2-night weekends at HIs, booked as bonus packages, for 17,800. Hmm, maybe. But I'm not going out of my way for it.

Looks like I'm dropping to Gold this year.
