We appreciate your loyalty. Please see IHG® Rewards Club offers available now.

Same here :eek:

Update: I was just told by Rewards-assistance that the current promo is targeted and I should have received an email invitation.

Do AMB rate stays (i.e., weekend stays booked with the AMB voucher) count for Accelerate?

count for Accelerate

I just tried registering since I have a 5 night HIX stay starting tomorrow night. When I click on the Register button, nothing seems to happen. Tried both Firefox and Edge.

So I called customer service, and the agent I spoke with said that she registered me. But I am not seeing any obvious sign of it. How am I supposed to access the dashboard showing what hoops I am to jump through for the bonus points?

My P+C task shows completed after booking reservation for a stay two months from now.

I was tempted to cancel it just to see what happens to the Accelerate task.

But as the lowest room rate at the hotel increased $60 from 12 hours earlier, I was afraid that if I canceled the P+C night that I might not be able to rebook it again.

When you cancel the money portion comes back in points right? Not cash?

I see a 20k room that I can book. Or 10k + $66. If I book it and cancel. I’m essentially buying 10k points for $66.

So I have not really stayed at IHG for 2 years and therefore I got a good offer again last round, which I also completed. Now then, with the newest promo, it is back to lousy one again and I will ignore it.

Ha, this IHG game is so transparent like an open book.

Wow, I'm a rather loyal IHG member, perennial Spire/RA, and for the first time since they began Accelerate I am being shut out of a promo.

4,800 Stay at Crowne Plaza®
Stay at 2 Crowne Plaza® hotel(s) and earn 4,800 bonus points.

4,800 Saturday Stays Bonus
Stay 3 weekend(s), including a Saturday night and another night, and earn 4,800 bonus 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.


I am home on the weekends, am only staying at IC's during this period, and rarely ever can do bonus packages. No bonuses for me during this period!

Meanwhile I've recently done about 15 nights with Marriott earning double points in their program.

why cant you stay at 2 crown plaza?

Wow only home on weekends? What job do you have that you’re literally on the road all the time? Sounds like fun

It's only 4800 points so not worth changing any plans. If it was 48,000, then I might.

It's just me and many thousands of other consultants and salespeople who travel like this. A great many Flyertalkers too. ;)

You can cancel anything once the target has triggered. IHG's IT looks for the purchase of points with P+C, not the consumption of a reward night.

Dashboard not updating
 
I've just completed my first stay for this promo. The points have posted OK on my account activity as a qualifying stay but my dashboard hasn't updates with a percentage used. Anyone else had similar (or otherwise)?

Have similar issue. Had stays on the second and third of may. Points posted next day, no dashboard update ever since.

i had a similar task and booked the stay. The task has been marked as completed but task points have yet to be posted to account. Any idea when it will post as I was thinking of cancelling the stay. Thanks
