I just got an email from IHG, today on August 1st, reminding me that I still have up til July 31st to earn double points. Stunningly poor quality control.

Dear Stimpy,

Congratulations! You’re now earning Double Points on every stay. Keep staying and continue earning double until 31 July 2013. So where would you like to go? Plan your next getaway today.

Too bad they have the year in the e-mail. Otherwise you can claim missing credit for your stays the next year

Before my stay 2013 showed 31 qual nights 30,500 EQP's and after two IC stays, which triggered this promo...35 qual nights and 49,500 EQP's.
So 15k bonus + 2k IC stay + 2k IC stay.
Had to ring back today (there's a surprise!) for the 20k points, and they credited my account straightaway. Showing up as 'goodwill' points' they don't qualify as EQP's. A shame for those that need them.

Next promotion that's not showing up is the Book Direct 2013. I've made four direct bookings since the promo started, but no points posted.

Chasing points at the moment, as I want to cover three weeks holiday accommodation in a year or two's time.

I seem to remember that the quarterly stay x get y points promos used to come around like clockwork for Q1-Q3, but this month is dry for any bonus points. After all the fuss about the relaunch it's somewhat of an anticlimax especially when most others chains are doing some sort of summer promo. I've switched 7 nights in August to Hilton to take advantage of the triple points, although I still have another 7 nights at IHG which will only be earning base points
