I got that too. A decent promo would have made it worth switching a points booking to paid and making other IHG bookings over the period, but this just isn't worthwhile.

I have had no IHG bookings so far in 2019. Maybe that's why they shafted me?

I had the problem yesterday where I couldn't see any offers after it told me I wasn't eligible based on my earning preferences.

I've tried again this morning and I can see the offers now but they're really poor. I've never had such rubbish choices previously, pretty disappointing...

Good News Bad News
 
Good News my offers are now listed. Bad news they are ridiculously poor:
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4d99fce9b5.jpg

This will be the second Accelerate promotion in a row I skip. I will continue to focus on Marriott, my primary program, for now. If the IHG promo's continue to be anemic, I may move to Hilton or Hyatt as my secondary program.

in the meantime I booked Hilton stays for the next few months since their promo actually works for me. When the IHG mystery promo reveals itself to me, maybe I will reconsider...


Thank you very much, this motivated me to go in and have another look today. As Points Scrounger said, excitement abounding. I made a pdf of my offer page, which came out horribly, but it also revealed about 20 offers not in the main offer, of the Stay Once Get 2,000 Points and Stay Twice Get 4,000 Points genre. Well, here is the main offer anyway:

10,500 Stay More, Earn More
Get closer to the rewards you want when you stay 7 night(s) and earn 10,500 bonus points.

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

5,600 Saturday Stays Bonus
Stay 2 weekend(s), including a Saturday night and another night, and earn 5,600 bonus points.

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.

5,600 Stay at 6 IHG® Hotels
Stay at 6 IHG® hotel(s) and earn 5,600 bonus points.

6,600 Earn More, Faster
Earn 6,600 bonus points when you book 2 Bonus Points Package stay(s) and get to your next reward faster.

Quite easy to hit that lot before the end of August, given that I'm on the move a lot this summer, so I will probably get an awful offer in September for the next Accelerate.

I, too, was first shunned by the earning preference error, but now I log in and I see the following;

9,000 Stay More, Earn More
Get closer to the rewards you want when you stay 6 night(s) and earn 9,000 bonus points.

8,400 Discover Our Brands
Stay at 2 brands and get 8,400 bonus points.

2,800 Stay at 3 IHG® Hotels
Stay at 3 IHG® hotel(s) and earn 2,800 bonus points.

6,600 Earn More, Faster
Earn 6,600 bonus points when you book 2 Bonus Points Package stay(s) and get to your next reward faster.

12,000 Stay a Little Longer
Earn 12,000 bonus points when you book 2 stay(s) of 4 or more consecutive nights.

19,400 Your Achievement Bonus
Complete 5 of the 5 offers and earn (an additional) 19,400 bonus points.

I suspect a few of these I'll receive pretty much accidentally. But the long stay task is completely unrealistic for me, and as such, I won't get the 12,000 for it, nor the 19,400 completionist bonus either, so this is likely to be an inconsequential promo for me.

I'm a very recent first-time entrant to Gold (though 3/4 of the way to Platinum), having done 13 stays in the last year, 9 of them in 2019.

So that’s 60 K plus 28.8 K plus 9 K plus 48.9 K equals 146.7 K total correct? I think it’s a very high offer my total is only 118.4 K Any body have a higher total then 146.7??

notquiteaff May 1, 2019 9:43 am

8,400 for two weekends

4,500 for one points&cash stay

2,800 for three IHG hotels

not terribly difficult during road trip season, but 15,700 points aren’t particularly motivating...

tangey May 1, 2019 9:47 am

146.7K...but requires at least 30 nights stay to acheive it, or less than 3K points per night.

My total is 107K, but can be acheived with 4 stays 1 of which has to be for 4 nights min, the others can be for 3x single nights. So 7/8 nights @15.2K/13.3K points per night

No chance I'll do 4 consecutive nights, pity that I now have to do all targets to hit the bonus, I recall when it was 5 out of 6 etc.

I also notice that if I switch the offer page to reader mode, a load more targets appear, including stay once in june for 3K points

I think that's the most points I've ever been offered, and it would be achievable in 6 nights.

redreeper May 1, 2019 10:08 am

Easy peasy for me again. 3 nights, 3 brands, one paid on the IHG credit card, 41k.
Was going to happen anyway so I'm happy.

I have gotten considerably easy and achievable offers for the past few cycles. Having the credit card seems to be a plus in my case, usually one of my tasks is to spend on it.

peripateticlife May 1, 2019 10:38 am

12 Weekend stays again, didn't complete it last time. I have 5 weekends already booked, but they're super discounted.
