Please read these before asking your question in the thread.
- Q. If I book a stay using IHG points, does that count as a "stay" towards my Into The Nights offers?
A. No.
- Q. If I book a stay using a cash and points rate, does that count as a "stay" towards my Into The Nights offers?
A. No.
- Q. Will stays booked via a consolidator (like TravelPony) or other public travel portal or points portal count towards this promo?
A. No. Your stays must be booked directly with IHG on their website or on their app. However, if you are booking through your corporate portal at work, this may post if such stays usually earn you base points.
- Q. How long will it take for my points to post?
A. Normally they post within a week or two.
- Q. How long after stay points post to my IHG account is it until my personal Into the Nights dashboard is updated showing progress in my offers?
A. The Tuesday after the stay points post to account. (edit: has been Thursday lately, November)
- Q. Where can I find the Bonus Point package with Breakfast rate?
A. Click here to book Bonus Points Package with (or without) Breakfast rate.
NOTE: Make sure that your email confirmation states something like this:
Rate Description: Exclusive to IHG Rewards Club members. Earn Faster with this package offer plus breakfast - Earn 5,000 bonus IHG Rewards Club points per stay when you book the 5,000 Bonus Point Package plus breakfast each day (breakfast for up to 2 adults sharing a room). Membership in IHG® Rewards Club is free! Points can be redeemed at any time for a variety of rewards, including free hotel stays starting at just 10,000 points, airline miles, name-brand merchandise and more. Book now to take advantage of this special offer!
Otherwise you booked the wrong rate type. This type of rate also comes in a 1000 point version.
- Q. I registered for this promotion before 10/20/2014 and my tasks changed! (E.g., "book a stay with the app" became "book 9 stays with the app").
A. See this post from IHG's FlyerTalk representative.
- Q. Does a Holiday Inn Express stay count as a Holiday Inn stay?
A. No
- Q. What are the conditions for the free nights being awarded?
A. Free nights must be redeemed by December 31st, 2015 and must be claimed by January 31st, 2015 or members will automatically be awarded applicable points. Free Nights can only be used in participating IHG hotels and may not be transferred. A Free Night is valid only for one standard room night rate and applicable taxes (not including breakfast). Redemption is subject to availability of the rooms of hotels specially provided for this promotion. The hotel rooms hotels specially provided for this promotion shall be determined at IHG’s discretion.
- Q.I chose the 2 free nights award, how do I book them?
A. Go to your My Account page on ihg.com (after logging in). On the left hand masthead you will see an option labeled "Free Night Status". The page will show how many free nights you have available and provides a way to book the nights. Note that it's a bit clumsy -- an initial search will show that the lowest price is Free, but until you click thru you won't know if it's really available for your preferred nights.
- Q. Can I trade the free nights?
A. Not on FlyerTalk. They are specifically designated non-transferable.

Link just worked for me. Platinum, stays to date this year 31 and have the CC. Here are my tasks:
For 30,000 miles or two free nights:
19 nights at any IHG property = 21,000pts
Survey = 100 points
7 nights at HIE = 8,400pts
Kind of plain and nothing exotic, thankfully. No weekend stays or resort stays works in my favor.
I have "unlock additional bonus offers for 29,500 miles.

Does anyone have more info about the 2 or 3 free nights.
It say xxxxx points or 2 free nights,
is this mean you will get xxxxx points enough for 2 nights in lower category or it mean something like 2 certificates valid for any IHG property?

What I meant is that 'free night' will be granted in form of points, not certificates/vouchers or similar.
At least that's how I read into that 'at least'.
Or, if those T&Cs are generic, and because some people got 3 nights, then it refers to that some will get 2, some 3, or more...
as everyone else

I got:
Stay 7 nights at IHG hotels = 9600 points
Stay in 4 brands = 19600 points
2 Saturday night stays = 4800 points
1 night bonus point package with breakfast = 2000 points
Stay in 2 different countries = 9600 points
Complete 4 of these offers for a bonus 18000 points or 2 free nights...
The 2 free nights is interesting although at this stage it's not clear if they are time dependent or location dependent...
