Anyone done BRG stay and can confirm that it was count as a stay for Win Big promo?
I done one night BRG stay few day ago and so far it has been recorded as non-qualified stay which is ok, but nothing change on Win Big progress

A reward stay (non-qualifying) just posted and increased the number of qualifying brands.

Based on this, does it count for the Win Big Promo in terms of "stay x brands" and receive y points?

In my case, paid stays has be credited correctly in both Rewards Club and Win Big in about one week time.
My last, one night BRG stay has one been tracked only in my account, nothing changed in Win Big progress.
Carolyn confirmed in post #310 that BRG bookings will count as stays for this promo so I hope IHG will sort it out soon.

Let us know , please if you get respond from igfcare.

How did it post to your account and how did you find out as what it posted to the Win Big promo? All I can find there are empty, half-filled and full circles with no further details.

Where do you find circles? I only see a check mark for full completion of a task.

I do find it amusing that on the list of hotels for the city stays I have Stalybridge Suites, Birmingham (UK), which does not open until Feb 2014!

2 Saturday stays
I got the sample 1 tasks (from the first post) to do and was wondering if I book two rooms in the same hotel on the same day (a Saturday), would that satisfy the 2 saturday stay task?

Thanks.

Earlier this afternoon I came across verbiage, somewhere, which prohibited credit for this. It's in the T&C some place.

Oh well, guess it is set up that way and I will get a few points out of it.
Agreed. I'm actually going to hit all of the other tiers, except this one. I'm traveling around Europe & SE Asia during this whole promo period - and all the "Live the Life" City hotels are in North & South America. So silly that they give you almost no chance to make it. Still, I'll end up with about 40,000 points from the promo. With my stay points, I'll have 50k, which is about 2 free nights at a decent property. Not too bad IMO. But clearly could be better.

Same with the new Indigo hotel in Düsseldorf, that is also on the list of hotels for city stays. From their website:

Announcements

OPENING SOON!

Book the Hotel Indigo Dusseldorf - Victoriaplatz now for stays from January 3, 2014 onwards.
