HOLY ....!! After getting the canned responses from IHG about the tracker not posting my " book 3 stays thru our website" . I made a second call to the rewards dept. and THIS time they told me it has to be a "best guarantee " rate which means a corporate, aarp, best flexible rate, whatever does not count. It did not clarify this exactly in my offer. It all seems rather cryptic to me in the wording of the offer. What is says is book 3 stays thru our website or an app to get the best rate guarantee. HUH????? IHG rewards dept opened up a case on my problem.

It's only been held twice so far:
The first one was the last 4 months of 2013.
The current one is the first 4 months of 2014.
No one knows if it will continue, and if so whether it will be 3 times a year or 2 times a year or 1 time a year or less.

My terms are pretty broad:
Bonus points or bonus miles listed above will be rewarded after required number of qualifying stays are booked on any IHG website between 1 January 2014 and 30 April 2014 (both dates inclusive) at participating InterContinental®, Crowne Plaza®, Hotel Indigo®, Holiday Inn®, Holiday Inn Express®, Staybridge Suites®, Candlewood Suites®, Even® or Hualuxe® hotels worldwide.
...
A stay constitutes a “qualifying stay” when paying qualifying rates, which include most business and leisure rates.

I had CAA (Canadian equivalent to AAA) rates count towards completing both Big Win promos.

Survey Updates?
Anyone have any luck with IHG responding to the survey issue?
I completed the survey, received 100 points, and see the offer marked as "Completed" on my Big Win offer page. However, the Big Win bonus offer shows one less offer completed than what was actually completed, and I've received e-mails from IHG saying the Survey offer was "Not Started."
It seems like when I complete the other offers I will be 5/6 on the Big Win bonus due to this survey issue. Has anyone heard anything from IGH on this beyond just waiting 6-8 weeks?

Hi All
Has anyone had 'get it to win' track successfully yet?
I applied for and got the black visa early Jan. Some stays early feb were paid, earned the correct multiplier on CC points, and these points have now transferred over the IHG. The stays have registered for other targets (# of stays, and # of brands) however 'get it to win' hasn't tracked yet. Asked via missing points on the site, and got the usual 6-8 weeks spiel... curious to know if anyone has had this track properly yet.
Cheers
