Maybe they will count an e-night at this e-hotel just don't plan on qualifying for your dining spend there.

They could have at least offered you another IHG virtual hotel option in Brasil :

My spouse got the same. A little strange, considering that our home is in Texas rather than your "SYD, BNE and BKK".

My offer lists specific hotels in each city.

Same for me

Looks like I have the best one so far. Lucky me!

153,700 for four nights.

Try one and done. 1,000 points for one stay at an IHG property.
Book with us. 6,000 points for booking two separate stays through an IHG hotel website or mobile device.
Survey the win. 100 points for completing a survey.
Live the city life. 18,000 points for staying at any two of five listed hotels.
Explore our brands. 30,000 points for staying at two different IHG brands.
Stay more & earn more. 9,600 points for staying four total nights.
Win in a weekend. 12,000 points for staying two Saturday nights.
Win big. 77,000 more points for completing all the offers.

My history is that I have never completed a paid stay. I have only ever purchased points for 0.7 cents and redeemed them for PointBreaks, a mistake 10k rate at Holiday Inn in Munich, and two nights at a Holiday Inn in Montevideo.

My life would be a lot easier if I can stay in two cities at any of the dozens of listed hotels instead of just the five example hotels. I hope the former is the case. In that case, I'd do three nights including a Saturday in Los Angeles and one Saturday night somewhere else as a mattress run (San Fran?).

Stay more and earn more (4 nights) - 10,000 points

Win big - 51,000 points


I guess I can do 2 nights to get bonus points for 1st stay, survey, Sat stays, IHG visa and 2 diff IHG hotels.

Considering I just got back from Europe (kinda absurd to get this after I just got back), not sure if I want to go back to get that bonus and Big Win bonus.

I got the email this morning, but can't see my offer, the email links keep throwing 503 errors saying the back end server is at capacity. The email says my win big is 76,000.

I haven't been able to register. I have a Mac, and have repeatedly tried on both Safari and Firefox. I'm in the U.S.

My offer:
One stay = 1k pts

Online or mobile booking = 4K pts
Survey = 100 pts
Stay at two distinct locations = 7200 pts

Don't know why I didn't get a Sat. stay item, but I didn't.

I registered yesterday using a link from a travel blogger. Hubby tried to register today but still a no go.

I'm considering going for this offer in full. Seems I'm usually hotel points poor more than airline miles so my offer seems fairly easy to accomplish.

It just so happens I'm an IHG points junkie this year. I guess my stars were lined up for this one!

For the future reservations I have prior to 12/31/13, I'll simply cancel and rebook.
