Delete. I misunderstood the T&Cs and posted a question which a re-reading of T&Cs clarified it.

Looks good...I'd print/save to PDF the terms which specify "Priority Club points will be awarded on these packages."

The grass is always greener on the other side................and the confusion is always less on the other side as well, huh...............................:p |

The one exception is SPG, where the Lurkers work hard to clear up ambiguities. Plus, SPG put together an extensive FAQ for their promo. |
True that..............

Why is this promotion so complicated?? Has anyone ever seen a promotion this complicated before? I will probably just take the double points for simplicity.
But I do like the promo...........^ :D |

It's certainly not as clear as Steve Sickel makes it out to be: https://community.priorityclub.com/b...l-announcement |
OK,I know its unlikely but reassure me
The sign up for the promo says: By registering for this Free Night promotion, you acknowledge that you will forego earning base and Elite points or miles in order to earn free nights from now until 3 July 2009. So if I register today am I forgoing the normal points for stays even before the promo commences? |

And there overseas scary call center is way worse in communicating
the details :td: Pathetic company with some great hotels and a good program run by a very dysfunctional company I find this promotion disturbing.It really has me disliking PC The problem is they haven't run these kind of free night broad based promotions in the past So to put these heavy handed restrictions on many of their customers including some of their best customers creates a lack of good will Worse there are major trust issues going forward. I find the fine print high on the creep factor The folks at PC in Atlanta would be wise to get an official communicator here on FT to further clarify |

So if I register today am I forgoing the normal points for stays even before the promo commences? (a) During Promotion Period: Once registered for this Promotion and during the Promotion Period (so that would mean beginning May 4), Members will not earn base or elite Priority Club points, airline miles, or any other frequency credit earning preference Members have chosen (“Frequency Credits”) for the room rate, food and beverage charges or any other incidental charges for any stays at any IHG hotel (except at hotels in those countries in which the Promotion is void), whether pursuant to this Promotion or otherwise, even if the Member has previously registered for, or is otherwise qualified for, another promotion and even if the Member has already earned the maximum of four Free Nights during the Promotion Period. In other words, participation in this Promotion excludes the receipt of base and elite Frequency Credits for stays from the date of registration for this Promotion until July 3, 2009. (so that would indicate that it could exclude stays starting immediately) Bonus Frequency Credits, however, will be awarded pursuant to the terms of any other promotion in which Member is participating. |

Precisely--on both counts.

5 Million Free Rooms with IHG’s Latest Promotion
Almost 5 million free nights at over 4,000 hotels around the globe are up for grabs, as IHG launches its biggest ever free nights promotion.
Travellers can earn a free night by registering at getafreenight.com and staying two nights at any InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites or Candlewood Suites around the world between 4 May and 3 July 2009. Andy Cosslett, IHG’s Chief Executive, said, “As the world’s largest hotel company we’re able to give guests more choice and more flexibility. Our guests can choose from over 4,000 hotels in 100 countries, across seven brands, including the biggest of them all - Holiday Inn. Now, with our Biggest Free Nights offer more guests can enjoy a stay in any of our hotels around the world.” How the promotion works: - Travellers must first register for the promotion - Stay any two nights between 4 May and 3 July 2009 (the two nights do not have to be consecutive or at even at the same brand of hotel) - Get one free night to use between 3 July and 26 December 2009 - Use the free nights at one of over 4,000 hotels around the world (e.g. stay at one hotel in one country and get a free night in another country) - Earn up to four free nights (e.g. stay eight nights, get four free) http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/pc/..._-zhsilverkris |
