You don't explain where you're based in your profile.

For those based in the Americas, this thread:

covers the next promotion.

There is a link on the Set Your Sights page - 'Thank you for participating in the Set Your Sights promotion. As of 30 April, 2015, the promotion has ended, but don't worry, you have an exciting new opportunity to earn valuable rewards.'
but, the link currently only goes to the expired 'double miles' promotion.

It took mine about 3 months, literally. Finally posted after I completed my first stay of the promo which was about 10 days before it ended. I had e-mailed well before that on the credit card (applied in January) and they assured me it would post. All stays have posted to the dashboard which is completed. Some points have posted to my IHG account, some have not. Am waiting patiently for the remainder, it hasn't been that long yet.

On the task page it shows all tasks completed and points awarded except the bonus for completing all tasks? Is this supposed to take longer to trigger?

In my case there was a delay of a day between the final task's points posting(May 2) and the completed all task bonus posting (May 3).

I messaged IHGSteve at the start of the week and he said he had not heard for the rest of us.

Amongst the non-credit card offer people, has anyone else had none of the Set Your Sights bonuses, either offer or achievement bonuses, posts?

TIA

Pay or use rewards

I'm a fairly infrequent PC user and was about to book a 2 day hotel stay and didn't notice any bonuses. Last time/last year it seems there were a gazillion bonuses to sign up for. What gives?

Since I only have about 50k points, and they'll start expiring now, and the hotel was only a low earner (Candlewood) it seems like it may be a better idea to pay with points. Agree?

Might as well use them instead of earning hardly anything (low earning rate and no bonuses).

I signed up for the promo (I'm in Singapore) and I completed my 5 tasks and got 50,000 bonus points. Sweet!
