I freely admit that I have not yet sloughed through all 62 pages of this thread, so I am sure my question has been answered, but, since I am now a dear, long-time good friend of Steve Sickel...
Do I just go to the hotel I want and one of the rate choices will be F&F? I tried it but could not find that rate choice. Is it because I logged in under my account and the cookies have me under my own profile?????? How do I find that rate?
Thanks for the info.

Just back
Do read the IC GS vs IC debates before you choose which side of the road you want to stay.
I dare to summarise that most will suggest you get a club rate in the GS rather than a basic rate in the IC.
Considering Ambassador membership (if not already) is financially worthwhile if you are going for more than a couple of nights.

If it's your first time using the F/F link, a suggestion to bypass all of the small print/legal speak is to select "Option #3" when accessing the link. Option #3 will take you straight to a screen where you can choose where and when you want to travel within the IHG system.
Also - when and if you do decide to book using the F/F link, besides not getting your PCR points - remember that your booking is pre-paid, non-changeable, non-cancelable, and non-refundable as soon as you hit "get confirmation".... so I hope your plans are set and do not suffer from buyer's remorse.
Lastly - don't forget to print out your F/F voucher (Option #2 when you access the link).
Hope this info was helpful and not too redundant from what has already been posted...

No points for stay, how about for incidentals? Can we still charge them in the room to get some points?

Just stayed two nights (4-6MAR2011) in IC Semiramis Cairo using IHG F&F rates. Used Ana Lowe link. Front office didn't ask for voucher or anything on F&F. Payment settled at check-out (credit card given at booking stage was for guaranteeing reservation). Painless.

does anyone know if they offer flexibility around cancelling in situations of earthquake/tsunami?
I booked a few rooms from Monday for my neighbours and they are not going anymore
I have tried PC line and they say it is up to the hotel but the hotel is not answering - obviously have more going on over there
