Nope, you are right
this rate has almost gone!
just rare availability on weekends in some places - thats it. (Yes, I know two hotels where it's available on weekdays - but before there was more than 40 hotels where I've used it in the past years)

Sad lack of availability
Live in South of England and often stayed M6 corridor Friday/Saturday night on my journey North.....Just tried and even my bankers are not showing any 2 for 1 availability....Gutted....Would expect to go 20 or more weekends a year....but now priced out

I liked various Greenroom 241's as both nights counted as qualifying , unlike 35% of Prepaid-A, and FF rates.
5day advance rule, and lack of midweek, read Thu/Fri or Sun/Mon 241's has killed this summer's long weekend breaks.
I used to have many 3night long weekends in UK, often booking late midweek for the coming weekend, which change is worst for me, as now needs 5day advance minimum.
I tended to use 2 consecutive 241 deals, allowing me a really early checkin as prev night booked, and/or really late checkout as 4th night still to come.
eg Both Thu/Fri 241 + Sat/Sun 241 night bookings allowed me to checkin 8am Friday, checkout 8pm Sunday
Now I book Fri/Sat 241 + Sun Prepaid-A, but no early checkin/checkouts anymore this way
(Plus counts as only 2 qual nights instead of 4 )

has it ever been confirmed if you use this rate if you get credit to your PC account ?
For example do you get your weekend stay bonus if you use this rate
Grateful for any insight, thinking particularly of a July stay I want at CP Heathrow

If nights qualify, then w/end bonus should too.

FF rates are 15% off whereas Prepaid-A is 35% off , as both are non-qual nights, i never usee FF rates.

I read somewhere the Indigo Glasgow would not give any, so I assume this rule applies to all the Glasgow IHG properties, I have personally stopped using this rate for these properties.

From my experience, the HIX Bath and the HI Brighton did not post at all. I managed to get one night for the HIX Bath, but nothing the HI Brighton. A rude manager even responded like "no points, that's it. finished".
