Quick question, for a stay in Europe.

Can I use the certificate for a stay starting on Sunday and ending on Tuesday?

I would suspect that the answer is "No" given the following text from IC's terms and conditions:
'Weekend' is determined as follows: Friday, Saturday and Sunday, except in the Middle East where hotels may define the weekend as Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
In your scenario, you are only staying for 1 weekend night (Sunday) and the certificate grants a free second weekend night.

No. I know have two bookings with this offer. One for Nov and one for March. My IHG account still shows the cert saying to redeem before 1st Dec.

We still haven't heard from anyone that has the e-cert, booked the FWNC rate, stayed at the property, didn't use a paper voucher and subsequently had the online voucher used up / redeemed by the system post stay.

That's what I'm interested in.

I just left the IC Moscow and upon checkin we were asked to forward the voucher to them. We had brought the paper vouchers just in case and they took the paper vouchers. She was surprised when I explained that I could not forward the voucher to the hotel. I will find out when I get home if they used the electronic certificate or not.

Is it possible to combine the free weekend night with cashback?
In other words, is the booking to be done exclusively thru https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental...rtificate/book?
Or does a booking of two flexible nights (which is the same rate anyways) on the main IHG website, accessed thru a cashback portal, count, too?

I found it was possible to combine with cashback: after being directed to the booking page, click on "Terms & Conditions", there click on "Free Ambassador night conditions" where I could find a link to the booking site of the "free" weekend night. Cashback was traced.

Used paper one four weeks ago (not that anyone asked for it). Just booked again with electronic that showed up just after. What can it hurt? I'll watch and see if it holds...

So far, so good. New year for me now, and the reservation is still up there and the money shown for the upcoming reservation is right.

I just logged into my account and the e-cert is showing that I used it on the date that we arrived at the IC Moscow.

In the box that shows the expiration date, I have “Redeemed on June xx, 2019” and the grey button next to it shows redeemed.

i did receive the correct number of points for the stay.
