my mistake, i was valuing them at the value during the recent % promo, .007 is correct

A reminder, that we indeed have a Gentlemens agreement not to post the actual point earning.

By the way I had a further stay post today and a 3,000 and a 2,000 Bonus both re-posted so looks like I'll get those for 60 and/or 90 days

Something really great happened to me. I had all those lovely bonuses post and earnt maybe 25k for a 2 nighter which posted on the same day as a 1 nighter .. and this earnt a further circa 25k... never seen this before. Basically the IC took 5 days to post, the HI took 4, hitting my account the same day... a following CW stay posted with the same 3 plus 2 as you...

Finally posted!

Starting from nothing, I got to Platinum with a status match, then with a one night mattress stay got enough points to purchase Ambassador status. ^

use code 4494

10 July until 31 October 2013, we have an exclusive offer for you – an additional 2,000 bonus IHG® Rewards Club points, on top of those you’ll earn from your stay. What’s more, this exciting offer is applicable for up to 4 stays. That means you could be earning up to 8,000 bonus points.
I registered for this promotion in July, but never got any points, despite having booked more than 4 stays within the time frame mentioned. The offer is listed in My Offer Status as "Book direct 2013", but shows no activity. Did anyone actually get points for this or have any qualifying stays showing for this promotion?

I contacted CS about this issue (among others) and was told that these bonus points will be posted only after the promotion is over (October 31st). Again, this is just one response of a CS rep, but it make sense.

I do not see activity for this offer in my account (like I should) but given the answer I got I can only assume that the rep saw my qualifying stay.

Thanks for the update, agvxvent.

A points sweep at the end of a promotion period is not uncommon, but the fact that no activity is shown at all in My Offer Status is strange. Anyway, I guess we will need to be patient for another moth or so to see whether the promotion works or not.
