Though non-purchased promotional points from points.com don't seem to count toward status. I've been doing a Peanut Labs/points.com surveys for vouchers program, and those points don't post as Elite Qualifying. Which is kind of odd considering that points from e-Rewards surveys are Elite Qualifying points in 2013, and e-Rewards and Peanut Labs are two different branches of the same survey company.

IHG is stiil a click through partner with MyPoints, which gives you 5 MyPoints points per dollar (and occasionally more than that specials- there was a 15 points per dollar e-mail earlier this fall I'm now wishing I'd saved) toward United Miles, Marriott GCs, prepaid Visa cards, and assorted non-travel rewards, if any of those would be useful to you.

I am planning on reserving a room in Bangkok for arrival on Sunday and leaving on Monday. Is this considered a weekend stay so I can receive my 5000 bonus points?

The weekend stay targets I've seen all seem to revolve around a Saturday night stay - what do the T&Cs for your particular target say?

For the bonus point codes I would have thought it would have counted but it's always a slight lottery with them!

I'm on MyPoints, and in a bit of unexplained weirdness, if you search for Holiday Inn, you get an offer for 5 MyPoints per dollar. If you search for IHG, it gives you a link for 3 MyPoints per dollar. So apparently Holiday Inn is the way to click there.

I just did a two night stay at a HI, and with all of my bonuses and such, netted me 27K of points. Not bad at all.

Do you know if I have a Friday night stay at a Holiday Inn in city x and then a Saturday night stay at a Candlewood Suites in city y, if this would count? These are consecutive night stays, but they are not at the same hotel or even in the same city. I don't think this would count but I wasn't sure if you had anymore insight.
