I had planned to book 2 nigths in London in january, last time I checked, about a week ago, there was plenty of availability but now there's only the 2 Indigos and the IC left.
Untill December 24th there's plenty of availability, but after that regardless of date or month (jan, feb, march) the situtation is the same.

If I book 3 nights like this at IC property,
Advanced + Friends + Advanced
Do I get 2 Qualifying Stay and Points? What counts as a single stay?
Is there anyone who have tried before?

Just tried booking for Sydney 23/12 using the Steve Sickel link. Got the F+F rate quote up OK but when I press the Reserve button I get the following message:

An error occurred.

This is for Friends and Family of employees.You are not authorized to book the reservation using Friends and Family rate.

The message came up when trying to book the HI Sydney Airport and Darling Harbour but whatever the glitch was it seems to have resolved. Maybe Steve was reading and decided to reinstate me to his list of Friends

Yes me, in July this year and got all the RA-benefits (Suiteupgrade, Clublounge access and free minibar!)

It was excellent! And very kind staff in clublounge as well!

Seems to be working fine again now for S.E Asia and Australia in any case.

They have added a thing about sharing the link so I don't reckon it is going to go away any time soon.

Everyone says no. Steve's name on the print out is enough.

That is really odd. Only last week I booked 9 nights at the Slough HIX for £25 to complete my Mum's Crack The Case.

If occupancy had improved so much, they wouldn't be carrying on with the 2-4-1 promo at most properties.

That's why I was happy to see that 2-4-1 had been extended

F&F in the UK, there's plenty of availability until the end of the year, but
as of 1 January there's only 4 hotels in the whole country.
